gettin’ the axe
Ok, so this job is coming to an end. Read previous posts if you want to hear about my ignominious departure. Summary – they screwed me over. But here are things on the plus side!
1 – pretty much everyone in the office agrees that the people in charge are being total douches and handled this who thing in a very low-class manner. And they are big fat fuckers. It’s nice that everyone is on my side.
2 – it’s therapeutic for me to vent about this. I haven’t really told anyone that Thursday is my last day, but it’s trickling through the cracks and everyone is kind of taking me aside and whispering about it. I use those moments to tell them what fuckers the uppers are.
3 – people want to buy me drinks! I’m going out with “the girls” from the office on Wednesday. That will be kind of fast and furious and trashy at the Penn Station TGIF’s, but that’s cool. They all want to sit around OUTSIDE the office and bitch about it just as much as I do. And these are women that I wouldn’t likely be friends with if I didn’t know them from here, so this will be the one and only and final hoo ha with them. I think it will be fun. The following night I’m going out with my two favorite people from here and I am hoping very hard that we can get the ops director to sit and talk shit about the office for a while. He needs it as much as we do, but I would really just like to hear him cut loose. Besides that, I have a little crushy mccrush on him (though he’s married and nothing will ever come of it) so this will be the final chance to go out and be social. I am sure I will not see these people again, so I want to make the most of it.
4 – everyone is kind of looking at me like I am victim of a terminal illness. That is cracking me up. I appreciate the sympathy of course, but these frowny faces are totally hilarious. No one really wants to SAY it.
I’m not going to say this place will suck without me, but I definitely brought in a flavor that they did no have, being as I have no interest in the business and was only here for my own amusement. I am not like anyone else here. I won’t go so far as to say they will miss me, because they will get over it pretty quick. But for a while, my tone will stay around.
