unemployed. what a life we live in.

once again, i find myself on the chopping block. in less than three months i have been canned from two seperate jobs. this might even be a new record for myself. i was employed for a month at a canadian web design firm which i will not name for legal purposes. the role was a simple one: maintain the booking system they use and support the rest of the staff when needed. i did what i was asked, however was let go for lack of 'passion'. who could have passion about what really was just an hr role? the reasoning behind people's choices really baffles me. and now i'm in the job market, looking for whatever opportunity floats on by. i don't want to get back into sales again, but i have a feeling that might be one of my only options. to have my former company email me like they did was a longshot. something that will never happen again. could i have helped myself from being canned? could i have shown that passion they were so looking for? quite possibly, but i really can't see how. the man who orchestrated the firing is a smug bastard of indeterminate middle age. he has a fat face and a fat gut to match. his kids probably hate his guts and his wife must think of him a fool. i know i do. why else would he make such a foolish error in letting me go? this is more of a rant than a blog, that much can be said. i still have to convey the terrible news to my amazing partner. that won't go over well. i wonder what it is like living with someone who constantly fails at what he does. it can't be very uplifting, can it? i'll wait until she gets home to tell her. i don't want her to be upset at work. and i know she will be. i was off work for two months, now i face another undetermined period without money coming in. what am i to do? ~G
