Its official: I"M FIRED

That's right ladies and gentlemen, I lost my job today. The job experiment that was JFD is no more. When I walked into work today here's the scene:

Frank: "good morning"
Me; "Hello Frank"
Frank; "how are you today?"
Me; "I'm doing alright"
Frank; "well that's good"

I proceed to walk into my office and turn everything on as usual. I pick up all the crap TJ was supposed to do over the last month and drop it on his desk.

Frank; "what are you doing?"
me; "I'm giving this back to TJ, I'm not going to make up for the last month of his uselessness"

Joe enters the room

Joe; "what are you doing?"
Me; "giving this back to TJ, I'm not going to pick up his slack."
Joe; "stop, just stop, you don't call the shots around here."
me; "nope, no I don't"
Joe; "don't turn your computer on"
me: "why?"
Joe; "you don't work here any more"

I shoot a half puzzled look back at him.

Joe; "you're fired, you don't work here any more"
me; "well, I'll see you around then"


and I left. joe couldn't even look at me, he half choked on his own words. Frank just sat there silent in all this. The only thing I'm going to miss is the looks on the other peoples faces when they find out Joe booted me. I'm sure Tom will be pissed, and probably call my parents tonight. Lucy is going to be upset but I'm sure she'll forget about me soon. The guys in the shop won't really care until someone else is telling them what to do but I'm sure they'll be a little confused. As for me, well, fuck um. Time to move on. Maybe now I'll have that break I was looking for after college. Maybe I'll get my ass in gear about this book. Maybe I'll go to Denver. The possibilities are endless. Its a beautiful day, anything is possible.

wow dude, too bad about the reference. there might be some legal issues here i mean you're not incompetent, no sexual harassement that we know of. whats the reason for firing you?

alright, plan b. make one, and most importantly make a budget so you know when your money is going to run out so you can get a new job before then.

Samson! Wholy crap. YOu should of atleast told them off first! Whos son was TJ?

I have a feeling youll be called back in to talk about it. And there is definetly some legal issues there, but im not sure you would want to get into it.

And its good you showed some balls. You shouldnt have to make up for anyones shit- ESPECIALLY his lazy son. Sometimes you got to put everything on the line to get some respect
