For those of you who have not been in direct contact with me recently, I've been fired, yes, fired. Trust me this was as much a shock to me as it is to you. The details of my termination won't be discussed on my blog, at least not for now. What I can tell you is that the termination was unjust, unfair, absurd and felt a lot like a steel-toed boot kick to the jaw. At this point I'm still seeing stars and certainly seeing red. I go back and forth between sadness and extreme anger and sometimes a mixture of both that is starting to physically manifest itself in the pit of my stomach.

Right now I'm trying to rely on my shaken faith that justice will be done but I'm not holding my breath. It turns out I've learned a valuable lesson or two in the last week. First, most people are in this life to serve themselves. Self-serving people make terrible friends, co-workers, and citizens. I will do my best to keep my distance from these people. Second, bad things happen to good people. With the number of evil people in the world out weighing the good and the majority of those evil people in positions of power bad things are bound to happen to good people. Just one of those facts of life they always warned me about i guess.

I would like to thank my friends and ex-coworkers who took the time to comfort me. Thank you for your phone calls, emails, compliments and support. If my spiritual beliefs prove to be correct there should be a cushy place for you in the afterlife. Until then I guess all we can rely on is a feeble thing called faith.
