Fired: Ask and you shall receive

Getting fired wasn't exactly what i had in mind when i asked God for a way out of my then current work situation. But i was begging and therefore won't be choosey about the way in which it unfolded. This post isn't even about the details of the terminating event. Lesson learned: when the employee and employer agent (i.e. Direct Supervisor) reach an impass, the clock is ticking. In this instance, the ax swung before i had been offered suitable employment elsewhere. I had interviewed with two separate entities, turned one down (still no regrets - it was an extremely bad fit.) and had been turned down by the other. The latter had been difficult since i had actually wanted the position. The frustration of not being able to get away from my then current boss and position drained me. Insert axe one month later.

What now? I had nothing saved. A little shaken by their awkwardness during the firing conversation, i walked out, went to a friend's place where i applied for Unemployment insurance. We then laughed it off over a lunch of comfort food.
