Small bites

Canned

I've been fired for the first time a few days ago in a hysterical series of events. I find humor because I'm assured that it will be short lived, as the circumstances surrounding it are truly out of the ordinary. There's a coup in progress and I'm what can only be defined as collateral damage.

I've been asking for more time to do what I want to do and have been given the opportunity. I haven't squandered it. If in fact the unemployment is short lived, I've got a narrow window to get a bunch of things done in. If it isn't, I don't have time to waste being idle. Hard to say in the heat of the moment, which way that will fall.

I think the important thing, that I mentioned to my husband is: We were planning for this. Obviously not the firing part, but the parting of ways - if it came to it, for a few months now. So it's not a crippling series of events. Something I believe should be taken note on. I made a promise to myself that I'd never be a hostage to another organization ever again several months ago. Since then, I've been supplementing my income picking up odd jobs on the side as a contractor. If the intent was to destroy, which, I believe it was, the joke is on them. It's a speed bump, not a disaster. And that's one for me and my cynical view on this economy.
