Well, it had to come

I was fired by SuperShuttle yesterday. After seven years.

My god, what a relief to be out of there. The place had down so far downhill, and there is no end to the slope in sight. Bad management, bad decisions. This might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

The reason they gave me was poor attendance. Evidently, they wanted me to come in and puke all over the keyboard when I had the flu. My manager was quite apologetic when he sacked me, and I knew that they weren't going to try an replace me, this was another cost cutting measure. Screw them.

Now I can apply for new jobs with the ability to say "any day, any shift." That will help immensely. It was time for a change anyway.

Man, that sucks. I know where you're coming from. I've had jobs that were going 'south' with no visible end in sight. Hopefully you'll get another, better job soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed. *sending good thoughts your way*
