I have quit many jobs, I have moved away from jobs, I have been harassed out of jobs and I have even been layed off… but I had never been fired… until today. The kicker is I LOVED that job. This is the first job in my lifetime that I actully question my abilities but I was so eager to learn and be good at it. I guess I wasn’t. I had my 90 days and they told me that I wasn’t up to par so they were taking the option to not keep me on. THAT SUCKS!!!! I called my mom, dad and rob and cried to them as I was driving home. Then mom talked me into going in to school and talk to my teachers (most of whom had worked at one point at this clinic) and they reasured me that my lack of success at being an assistant should not make me rethink my abilities about being a Vet Tech, and in fact one of my favorite techs from the clinic just left to become a teacher at the school and gave me a hug and told me in the long run this is a good thing. That made me feel better and then I found my girls and they all gave me hugs and told me to go get drunk, I love my girls!!!
So here is the plan, I am going to eat guacamole, drink margarits, eat chocolate cheesecake and take the next week off!
Cheers!

Arrrg! That sucks.
And as one friend of mine pointed out ages ago, "Fired means unemployment benefits." Yes, it's galling to do that, but... it's money you're entitled to for the asking.
Heather, that is horrible! I am SO sorry! :(
Yes, drink a bunch of margaritas and eat cheesecake -- you deserve it!
