McDude's Kind of CoolLosing my job blues |

2005-03-28 - 9:59 p.m. I am literally sitting here waiting to get fired. Every time someone walks by my cube I sit up and prepare to defend my emotions against the inevitable. They let go of 6 employees on Friday. I didn’t know any of them. They were in the salary cluster below mine and thus met a quicker fate. Lucky bastards. Nothing is more brutal than waiting for the inevitable. I would hate to be diagnosed with a terminal illness. Knowing any given week could be your last. How do you prioritize your activities in your final days? Do you look up a long lost nemesis in search of forgiveness? Do you find Religion? Do you say good-byes? Do you read a book? Do you confess your secret crushes? I’d like to simply eat meatloaf and play video games. Maybe confess to a few girls that I was in love with them and confess to a few others that I wasn’t. I moved away from a girlfriend for this job. That move eventually led to the break up of the Ex and I. But on the other hand it solidified my friend ship with G-money and I met Talkshow. I also met BB and it allowed me to continue to be close with the old college roommate as well. This job led to my Bowling league that I love. It also allowed me to compete in flag football games. It brought me to appreciate Chicago and “Big City” life. It also prompted me to start this journal. Now I sit hear hoping to find a position that fits my skills on the internal job postings site. “Wanted, someone who can surf the Internet undetected, can eat 12 frosted cookies in an hour, emailing friends all day long a plus.” Like this entry?
