unemployment

monday night i got the biggest surprise of my life. i was completely caught off guard when my corporate office manager, Bonnie, called me to let me go. she said that she was sorry, and thanked me for everything. i'd like to say that i've never been fired before, but this not my first time in the unemployment line. i was fired when i was 16. i worked for Celebration Restaurant as a hostess. the manager said that i was way too "reserved" and that he was sorry and thanked me for everything. twelve years ago, i hung up from that phone call and drove down to Eckerd Drug Store, filled out a paper application and was hired within 20 minutes. monday night i hung up from that phone call and cried.


yesterday, i had my exit interview with Bonnie; she flew down from Portland. she told me that the board of directors had to fire my boss. since i am his assistant, i was also no longer needed, my position was eliminated. i was sooo angry with my boss but i got a chance to talk to him about it and he said that he was super sorry. so now i'm hitting the pavement (i.e. internet) looking for a new way to pay the rent.


if all else fails then i will drive down to Eckerd Drug Store, now CVS, and fill out a paper application.
