be still, my wallet
I am looking forward to your dedicated and blind voting this election for my wife and all my fellow asses, er, I mean democrats so that we can win big this Fall. I'm keen on getting to the White House again, without all the stuff like 'work' to be done. I can more fully dedicate my time to helping young intern minds and bodies grow to their natural potential.
crazy aside
I did get fired from my job. The exit interview, a bad idea in my opinion, went like. You are [gruff] when approached. That was correct, as my team leader made every day like a Rob Zombie roller coaster without the pleasant end of the ride. Instead, I'm sure there was either a perpetual loop or simple a section of incomplete track leading to "my" end. Anyway, I could have told the third person in charge who conducted the interview this, but ...
my team leader was in the room with me. So, I can't berate that person in front of her, making any headway. Even though I will not use this short-lived job as a reference, I don't want to burn any bridges. Making enemies is a bad policy. So, I have been submitting electronic resume's again.
I'm not sore about it. The days were long and unpleasant, I didn't get fired unreasonably, and so there is no bad blood. They didn't think I would pan out, making that decision before the 90 day period. Technically, I was hoping to be transfered to another team to do a better job -- not having the stress of the team leader there.
I hate to pick on the poor place, but ...

If I were planning a trip to see a museum, I know Chicago is really neat, however a hassle to navigate, Indy is easier. Both are cheaper.
So, at work ...
I played the part of Mr. Kenny.
I didn't have a good attitude about work. That, actually wasn't accurate, I didn't mind my job, but rather my team leader. Since I "didn't like my job", they felt it was best if they let me go within the 90 period. So ... here I am. Yes, I'm disappointed with the change, but I am now stressed in a different manner, not the stress I had at work.
