I lost my job today. Or yesterday. I mean, it's 3:23AM, is it still yesterday? I guess it is TECHNICALLY today but if you don't ever fall asleep, does it ever really turn into tomorrow? I guess I almost sort of knew it was coming but the practical person in me kept thinking 'Can they really survive with no programming support?' and 'Would they really do that to me RIGHT NOW when I need my job more than I ever have in my life?' Apparently the answer to both of those was YES. The best part is that I got told by some snag that I've never met over a conference call with FIVE other people on it. The guy that I know locally that SHOULD be sticking up for his people and should have some degree of guilt for the total mismanagement of the last few months DID NOT SAY A WORD. If I run into him at Cub Foods while I'm buying groceries for my kid using FOOD STAMPS I will not be able to restrain myself from punching him directly in the face.
Ski said the only thing he could say to make himself laugh long enough to stop himself from lying down on the ground kicking his feet and crying, 'Frick it, Dude, let's go bowling.' I wonder how much a game of bowling costs because if I can afford it, I sure could use a laugh. Or maybe I'll just go watch The Big Lebowski because something about John Goodman in a bowling alley always makes me feel better.
