Just made it in under the wire...

So you can add one more person to the unemployment counter under President Bush's reign of terror! Yep, on his very last day of office, I walked into work at 11AM and was greeted at the door by Davis who wanted to "have a word" with me. It was sort of fitting.

I was a good little employee and stayed to clear off my desk and share with them all the little things they were too ignorant to know they needed to know about. I didn't have too - and Lord knows he isn't going to pay me for those 35 minutes - but I wanted to go out with class. I even handed over all the work I did over the weekend - but wasn't going to get paid for either. What good was it going to do me? I didn't want to be a douche bag about it all.

I knew it when I woke up. I knew I wouldn't be employed by the day's end. Davis just said he didn't have the money to keep me - sorry. Huh! Bet he still has enough money for his ski trip to Vermont next weekend though. Bastard. It was all very silent...no thank yous, nothing.

Whatever.

I didn't think I would cry over it. I mean, I really disliked working there at the end...but half way home I did cry. Who wants to get let go? I guess that is normal. Really though I was just dealing with the fact that now neither Brian nor I have a job. How does that work? Brian is still on unemployment for now. I cannot get it because I was only employed for 16 weeks - and you have to be there 20 to qualify. So I got screwed twice.

Life seems unfair and dark today - but there's always tomorrow right? Tomorrow when Obama becomes our 44th President, it will be even more important to me. I believe he can change things for the better. It can't happen fast enough for this household.
