Random Thoughts V3.0

[el_victorino]

So I got fired yesterday. One of my partners, W, who is on the way out the door to retirement, comes in and basically says that my future at this firm doesn't extend past the end of the year. I protest - everybody is slow but I'm paying my way, making profit, and he says it not about numbers, it's about the guy who is stepping up to basically take over when this partner retires. He , G, doesn't like me, never has, wants me gone, and the other two partners went along with it because they're not pulling down the numbers that G is. I am completely fucking stunned. I've never been fired in my life, and in this fucking economy, who knows what's next? I got a kid, for fuck's sake. And, because I was a partner, not an employee, I'm probably not eligible for unemployment.

Weird thing is that I was planning on leaving myself later in the year next year, closer to when the phone book ads come out, so if I decided to open up my own office, I could start advertising right away. Plus, that would have given me a chance to put some money away to live on while I tried to get a business up and running So basically, I was planning to get off the boat at some point close to shore, but they threw me overboard. I am so fucking pissed off about this, and the worst thing is that until I have something else lined up, I'll be coming to the office every day for the next couple weeks at least, like nothing ever happened.

I'm trying to work it so I can take at least some of my clients with me. If I do that, then I may be able to actually bring in enough money to pay rent and expenses while I try to actually get things going for myself. If I can't take any clients with me, and can't advertise in the phone book, then I'm basically fucked. I can't make it to phone book time (September) and job prospects are pretty bleak for going to work for someone else. I have never i my life loathed someone as much as I do this motherfucker. He's dumb as a bag of hammers, but because his brother is successful at another firm, he gets a lot of referrals, and he has somehow managed to convince himself that he's smart and good at what he does when a large part of it is the gravy train coming from his brother. He's the kind of guy that misuses big words trying to impress people, and everybody just laughs at him behind his back.

people still use phonebooks? i dont even think we have one.
