Too bad Tim isn't still around. Of course doing things fast is what killed him, but he would have appreciated the effort. He always gave it. Long Live #2 and Miss Macabre. The manager is probably another frustrated Leafs fan.
Go Sabres.

I know he feeling MM. I have been let go a few times, but only girlfriends were dickless enough to do it over the phone...


My experience says that it is always for the best. got canned from one job because one guy didnt like me, so of course he was the one i answered to. went from that one to a job that nearly doubled my income. They never gave me any work, so after 9 months of sitting in a cube, bored, posting on hdc and writing my own programs, i finally got the axe, and walking out of there felt like edward norton walking out of his office for the last time in fight club.. i whistled all the way to the car and smiled at everyone i passed, almost laughing at the fact that they "got to" stay...

my latest contract, he thinks he canned me, but i had quit the previous week. the project went over the allotted time by nearly double, which was a shock to him despite the fact that i told him we were runningout of hours and i was working on it hardcore for 2 weeks straight....

anywho, i have 2 simultaneous contracts now, which means a shitload of work and pressure, but a much bigger paycheck. and i like programming :)

small organizations - especialy in the service industry are run by standards you'll never see again once/if you enter the 'corporate world'

although far from perfect - they dont get away with the kind of crap these mickey mouse places do ..

(however there are completely different challenges that can be even more problematic)

it sucks to be fired for any reason .. but jobs like that are a dime a dozen - you should be able to grab something else pretty quick.

@posher: When were you not a shauvenist?
@Massacre Man: Coffee places are about all we've got around here. That or highly priced souvenir and antique stores but then my job will likely only last as long as the tourist season which is coming to a close. Plus there's just something about the little coffee stores. I used to go to one almost every day and sketch. The owner was always very nice and he gave great criticism. (he's since given up the job to go to rehab but whatever.) I live in a very arts based community, and I love it despite my griping. I just want to be around what I consider to be my people and if that makes me an art snob I'm proud to be one. :)
@Psycom: You should know by now, I hate coffee.

Thanks for all the words of wisdom everyone.

I worked at a Panera Bread, which is a coffee house with bread. It was one of my favorite jobs becasue we did nothing, but make food all day. The food was mostly unmodifiable. Inother words if it said that mustard came on it, that is what came on it. All the baked goods were great too. There were fifteen guys with laptops there all of them asking for my opinion or help with one thing or another.

Just gotta find soemthing you like.
