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!

Hey lady. Everything will work out. And as you said, put it all in perspective. If someone could be so idiotic to so unceremoniously terminate you based on a rumor and hearsay, they obviously never had good intentions in the first place. Your new career will be super interesting and full of adventure. I'm a bit confused/lost about where your husband fits into all of this?
@beryberygood - ha! As am I... actually, I put this on the blog a while back, but I might have sorta of buried it. I actually moved out about a year ago, so we are separated (I guess that is what you call it). It is frustrating because I've been having all these emotions about moving out and everything and he hasn't expressed any emotion whatsoever. What can you do, I guess? So, I'm moving on...
@justgotspaid I totally missed it. Sorry.
I thought something seemed off, but I wasn't sure what was going on. Do you want to get back together? Or willing to work through your feelings and move on? Men aren't really the best at expressing things. But you definitely can't leave things lingering for a year.. So sorry to hear that. (((Hugs)))
