  • 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!
