I was let go this afternoon. While I am unhappy about it, I am also angry. Because they could not give me a reason why they fired me. Now, North Carolina is an at-will state; an employer can hire and fire whomever they want as they see fit. My direct supervisor was not even in the meeting in which they fired me, it was only the office manager and a partner in the company. The reason, according to them, was that I has been told before that I needed to ask more questions, I said that I had asked more questions. They replied that they weren't sure why I was being fired. When Liz, the office manager helped mean clean out my office, I said to her once again that I didn't understand, especially since I got a good review a few months ago.

*shrug*

I know that they don't have to tell me why, and knowing that why would make me no less unemployed, but it would make me feel better, that's for sure.

Quick question - my boss's daughter is going off to college soon. Coworkers are putting together a basket for her. How much is appropriate to contribute?

That's right folks, spring break is here, no school till next week. So much copious spare time. Ok, not really since corporate tax returns are due March 15. Not that I am preparing any, but work is really busy. I put in about 6 hours today. And I am tired.

I am really sleepy now, so off to bed with me. Maybe I will post more tomorrow...

Turns out working on Saturdays during tax season is mandatory, so I got home at 5:30 today.

I'll have more later, although I did get around to loading a character on Lothar, so how do I hook up with you all?

P0rn-boy was fired, for having inappropriate things on his computer, and doing inappropriate things in his office. I, as the only other person in the office who knows anything about computers, got to delete everything from his machine. There was a lot of p0rn on that machine. And a lot of p0rn programs downloaded, which came with extra spyware. So I had to reformat the harddrive, because I could not get everything off. We had to do this to his computer back in July, because of the same thing. By then it was so bad it wouldn't boot properly, we couldn't even go into safemode with networking. I also had to go through his office, and make sure we kept what papers needed to be kept and so forth. There were letters from ADP (payroll company) from January that had not been opened and scanned into the file system. *headdesk* Because he was so busy...

And my homeowners association needs its butt kicked. We just spent 30 minutes at the last association meeting telling everyone that there would be no more special assessments, and now the board is talking about a new assessment. There are two of us on the board, myself included, who feel that it is unnecessary now. Unfortunately, the board has 5 members, so we are in the minority. We've been here a year, and have been assessed over $1000 for various things, not including our annual fee (the only fee we knew about before buying the house). So, because I disagreed with the President, and said we as a neighborhood didn't need this assessment right now, he threw it in my face because I am not current with my assessments, and said my opinion doesn't matter. Not real happy right now with the board...
