Bad news

February 16, 2007 at 8:39 PM


Bad news. The temp job I started three weeks ago didn’t work out. Initially I was overwhelmed with accolades and appreciation. I was even asked to work overtime because my work was so good. One person there really didn’t want me there, so she made trouble. I said that I would be willing to continue working there if they reassigned me to someone else, and I also suggested doing some work for them on a freelance basis. (Believe me, they need my help. Things are a mess there.) I’ve been terminated. Life’s a b*tch.
