Got fired today. I was around long enough to finish my normal morning cheque run, then they escorted me to the HR office, handed my my notice of termination, then escorted me to empty my desk and out of the building.
Given what happened this week, I'm not shocked. It sucks, because I can't see a way I could have prevented it, short of being precognative, but I'm not shocked.
I don't feel like ranting on it right now... maybe in a while. Sufficie it to say I made a mistake. Not a negilent mistake because I wasn't paying attention, not an ignorant mistake because I didn't know my job... there was just too much chaos going on (Printer was all screwy) and an error slipped past me, despite my best efforts to double check. And since there's no other checks on the stuff I produce, it went right out the door.
So after a week of getting wrung out by fear and worry over this, the result was kinda anticlimactic. Still, my landlady gave me two months notice at the beginning of October because she wants to move her son in... so, no job, and in a month no place to live.
Perfect.
