Sounds like you made a lucky escape, Erin. But absolutely infuriating in the craptastic BS way they handled it. Enjoy your day of mourning tinged with fury. We support you in email (and/or actual, live posts).
eta: calm, productive talk~ma, Shir.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Erin, those people suck.

I'm A FEMINIST -- but can you support me financially because I LOST MY JOB!"
I know you're upset and venting right now, and I can understand why you'd feel this way, but I want to go ahead and say that this is not true and unfair to yourself. You do not have control over a ridiculous work situation and asshole bosses. SUPERMAN couldn't do that job.
Being fired unfairly != sitting on your ass so you BF can bring you bon bons
(mmm, remember bon bons? It Friday. smonster want chocolate)

You guys were so helpful last time I needed b-day gifts for a kid that I'm coming to you again. This time I need stuff for twin boys who are turning 1. I'm getting lots of great hand-me-down stuff from their mom (my cousin), so I'd like to get nice stuff for them. Thoughts?

You'd support him if the situation were reversed. No shame in letting loved ones lend a hand in times of need.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Also, my cats bit my right thumb last night in a dog-inducd panic. Four wounds, and they HURT. My thumb is swollen, warm and seeping. I am keeping it clean, but It's very stiff and sore and I have to pack and move and type this weekend.
Injury to insult, baybees.

You all are full of good advice. And I'm just GRRRing right now -- I have my res updated and will certainly be working my butt off to find a job/bring in money any way I can and be useful.
It's just -- GUH.

Glam, I'll give my usual recommendation of something like a zoo membership, or playspace, or museum. It's a gift that keeps on giving, and no one has to find space for it!

Oh, Erin, that sucks so badly. That whole hour and a half to turn yourself around really sounds like they were looking for an excuse to fire you, though. Perhaps Ms. Backstabber has a friend she's trying to get in there.
Anyway, good luck with the job hunt. I hope you find something significantly better, soon.
