Got fired?
Not sure if I should post this here or in the Random Discussion (admins, please move if needed)

My old boss (as of last Friday, 11/3/06) thinks she fired me, but due to a lack of work, and the fact that I was only getting paid for the hours that I was billing out, I had quit on Thursday (11/2/06).

I've since found a new job starting today (11/7/06), and find that this job is MUCH BETTER than the people I was working for previously.

And to make this post "worth it", the reason I was "fired" was for spending too much time on this site!

Go figure....

You can never spend too much time on TSG! Look at some of the members -- they might as well live on the internet.

Glad you found a better job.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people actually get paid by their employers for being here.

Well if you got a lemon then make lemonade.

So I guess it was worth it to you to get fired.

Yeah, everyone is changing their name; Mulder (he's changed his name a total of 3 times), Moonmist, Jonesiegirl, and Tidus.
