Change of luck?
After a month of living in hotels and get dumped and getting shit-canned by my old office...
Side story: remember the post the other week about getting that surprise email telling me that I was no longer needed? Well, I went in to the office to confront my old boss and ask her why this was done, why I was not given an explanation and why I was let go so unceremoniously. Her response left me dumbstruck---she said that she heard a rumor that I had be bragging about logging hours for the office without doing any work. WHATATATAT??! I didn't see that coming--mostly because I would never and had never done or said these things. Apparently a rumor heard 2nd-hand is enough to fire someone without even investigating whether or not the implications could be correct and take away their email account of 7 years with NO notice. Man, I had STUFF in there. I'm not sure what, but I would have liked to be given the chance to transfer any info or contacts.
Merely the fact that my former employer could even believe that I was a liar and a thief (I am not--I might be 1/2 insane most of the time, but I maintain that my work ethic is very good) cut me to the core. I cried for 2 days over it.
But in perspective-- I guess if suffering an injustice results in being relieved of duties at a job I didn't like working for people I didn't like at an institution I didn't believe in isn't the worst thing in the world. I don't need them. Plus, if being homeless means hanging out with friends in hotel rooms, that's not all that horrible either.
BUT! Things are looking up! I found an apartment that I really like in a great location and I was able to get it! Yes, that means I now have my name on a 3rd apartment lease (I should be stressed, maybe, right?), but this signals the end of being a total homeless gyspsy-airport-rat come May 1. Now I won't have to go and hang about the Charlotte Airport all day just because I have no where else to be. Also, this might be the nicest place I've ever lived (certainly the most expensive); it has a washer&dryer AND a dishwasher INSIDE the apartment! Oh, the unbelievable luxuries! Plus the rooms are painted colors (my first non-all white wall living space EVER)
I just set up the electric, the gas and the internet. Now I just have to secure roommate(s) and start the moving process again...for the 5th time this year. yea!
