Mine's not too terribly funny, but I did get fired yesterday. Nice.
I'm (well was, I guess) a receptionist/secretary who had been working there for a year and I got fired yesterday. Not because I'm horrible or anything, but because "it just wasn't working out." Oooookay. I kind of expected this (there were hints and all), but wow talk about being blind sighted.
But the funny part is that technically I was fired yesterday, though I still get to show up for work for the next 2 days because I need the money. After that I'm done. I guess I should be wearing a shirt that says "Dead Man Walking," huh?
Now I need to find a new job for the summer. Hmm...

Never been fired fired, but I did get laid-off in 03. Made it to the last 3 people of 12 and they canned me the day we returned from Christmas break. Of course I got another job within 5 days and have been there since. You never know. It could be a positive for you. Always keep trying. I know it's hard.
