Okay then . . .

[angelchicken]

I was just fired. This, for the immediate future, isn't great. But honestly I am so thrilled that I will no longer be working for a bunch of assholes including the head asshole who HIT ME I don't mind.

But, well, I'm out of a job and that's no good.

Hmmmm . . .

But...someone hit you? Did I miss this somehow? That sounds like a lawsuit to me.

::hugs some more::

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

My boss smacked me to get me to shut up. He's an 87 year old asshole and I have no heartache over not working there any more. Thank you for the hugs. *hugs*

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

I. Hate. Him.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Me too, yo. But at least he's out of my life. WooHoo!

[jrs1980.livejournal.com]

Eep, but yay?

They didn't fire you because you were sick, did they? I've had that happen. Not cool.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Eep but yay. Yes. Fuck, I need a job but at least I am not miserable there. Now I just have to figure out how to not talk smack about him to the rest of Chicago . . .

I don't think they fired me because I was sick. I think he's just a stupid head. Whatever.

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

What the fuck??? Seriously, that place sounded shitty and awful, anyway. You'll find something else, and it will DEFINTIELY be better. Still, what a thing to have happen.

Give me a call. We'll go out and I'll buy you a drink. Seriously.

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

Okay, I just called (what I think is) your number and left you a message. If you want, fava_bean is having a party tonight, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind another body. So if you want to get out and drink loads of wine, let me know.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

I got your message! Sorry I missed you- I was drinking champagne with my mom. I think tonight won't work, but thank you so, so much for the invite. You are wonderful and I definitely want to see you soon!

xoxo

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Yes! A drink! Absolutely! And it was shitty and awful and I am *not* going to miss it. It just sort of buts a kibosh on any extravagant spending in the near future . . .

[canadia-bit.livejournal.com]

What the hell? I knew there were some major issues at this place, what with the hitting and all, but getting fired out of the blue? Damn.

Whatever, you don't need an environment like that. You're very talented and have great credentials. I know you'll find a great job soon.

*hugs*

(Heh, and I get to use my new and appropriate icon!)

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Right? It's so sucky and actually a little rude, but whatever. It's starting to sink in, though, and that's no fun. Damn it! I didn't like it there but I don't like being *fired!* Jerkface.

I'll find something else. I know it. But jeebus the thought of going through it all. UGH!

Thank you for the love. *snugs*

ps- Your icon rocks, yo.

[par-avion.livejournal.com]

Oh god, AC.

{{{hugs you}}}

Any idea what you want to do? There are a whole load of vidding fen living in Chicago who would love to meet you and get you totally drunk. I am so sad that I didn't get to see you. Between the worst.day.ever. for travel and swithching hotel rooms on Sunday it was just crazy. But wah! Fuck. Crap.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

I'm okay, it's just sucky to not be wanted. Ah well, I shall survive! Perservere, even. They can suck an egg.

I'm sorry I missed you, too. Between the wedding and the early onset illness I was just a mess last weekend. But I will hopefully be in NY in October and I would love to see you then, even just for a drink or something!

Thank you for the love. *hugs*

[shadowlass.livejournal.com]

A)Aww! *hugs tightly*

B)This is a great thing! You weren't happy there. Now that place can get bent, and you can get a job you enjoy. Celebratory drinks all around!

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie. It *is* a good thing and I am okay, though it is, in fact, starting to hit me and frankly? It sucks. But I am thrilled to be out of there and I can just chalk it up as one more learning experience. Whatever.

Also, I got to my mom's and she let me and and we sort of stared at each other. Then she finished drying her hair and asked me to leave and count to sixty then knock on her door. I did, and she opened it with a bottle of champagne and two glasses. Huzzah! Freedom for me!

[deeablo.livejournal.com]

Screw this. We are meeting for drinks sometime this week. Somewhere down by you so's we can get eep1313 and perhaps some other Chicago LJers as well. What days are best for you? I would rather not do Monday, but other than that, I'm free.

At least now you can get unemployment for a while. And hooray for mom!

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Ooo! How about Tuesday! That would be excellent, yo. I have the dentist on Wednesday morning so some pre-dental drinking is right up my alley!

Hooray for mom and hooray for unemployment! And hooray for no more crap-ass job!

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

I will TOTALLY meet you bitches on Tuesday night for drinks after work. Yis.

[sunbrae.livejournal.com]

*jealous*

[caltrask55.livejournal.com]

Yay? I'm glad you aren't there anymore because you weren't happy but the hell? Did they give you a (valid) reason?

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Yes? No? He didn't think I was working out. Fine. Whatever. I don't miss him even a little bit, nor do I miss the massive about of stress he causes in the rest of the employees. I've done my time in a crap job so being out is fine. I mean, being fired stings, but at least I wasn't loving my job or something.

Ah well. Thanks for the love, m'dear.

Augh! Are you going to let him know, expressly, that he's an old-fart-fuck-face and that hitting you is uncool AND that you're going to tell all your diamond-buyin' pals in Chicago to take their business elsewhere?

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'm just saying, I know a lot of people getting married and having anniversaries and birthdays and such. Guess where they WON'T be going . . .

[ghoulchick.livejournal.com]

What the shit? What a suck thing to have happened! On a Saturday, no less! Grr!

*hugs*

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Right? Though I called my other boss to let her know what happened and apparently all hell's broken loose since she got my message. She's aparently mortified that this happened. Yay! And she offered me a recommendation. Nice!

[sodanyc.livejournal.com]

What an idiot! Seriously, I mean, I can only imagine how much getting fired sucks, but given everything you've said, it sounds like you're way, way better off getting out of there. And now, you'll find a better job that is much more suited to you and without a boss who freaking hits you. You'll be fabulous; I know it:)

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweet sody! I am looking forward to future fabulousness, certainly. And it turns out that my other boss had no clue that he did this so she is mad pissed. Yay! She didn't want me fired. Go me!

[sunbrae.livejournal.com]

OMG! The heck? I'm happy if you're happy (about not working with asterisks), but wow. They're on crack, I know it.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

I am more happy than not. It was a shock, certainly, but whatever. And everyone else at the store was shocked, too, so there's that. Mostly, though, I am mad annoyed. He just may be on crack. His co-owners are on coke, after all.

It's strange and unsettling, but I'll survive. Thanks for the love, love.

[jennlynnster.livejournal.com]

Jeepers. I'm so glad you're out of that situation. Oy. No hitting!

::hugs and good vibes for a better job with outstanding benefits and co-workers::

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I am better today and I had a nice cathartic mini-breakdown yesterday, so I am looking forward to finding a new job post haste. *hugs*

[adjrun.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, AC, in that being fired SUCKS. But it's good that you're out of a stressy little hellhole.

Now for the better job!
