I got a form in the mail today from Crazy Marketing Company, essentially informing me that I'm fired. The exact words in the box on the form say: M: ne repond pas aux exigences du poste (horaire). Which, roughly translated, means M: is not complying with the requirements of the position (schedule). I don't know what the M stands for. I think it is some kind of code for reason of firing.
Damn right I haven't been complying with my schedule. The last time I went in to work was over a month ago. I never formally resigned, but I did call them up and say that something had come up and I wouldn't be able to work.
The thing that had come up was that I hated my job and wanted to quit. But I had never quit anything before and wasn't sure how to proceed. If I had written a letter of resignation it would have gone something like this:
Dear Crazy Marketing Company,
I hereby resign my position, effective immediately. I can no longer work for a company whose practices I find to be in certain cases dubiously ethical, and, in general, just plain retarded. This company is a blight upon the world, and your continued existence diminishes the quality of life of all who come into contact with you. Working for you has destroyed my soul and my feeling of self-worth, and I must leave before you also take my will to live. In conclusion, fuck you.
Goodbye forever,
L. I guess I should have just called them to say I would never be coming back, but being fired is way cooler. I have never been fired before.
Unexpectedly, along with the firing form, I also received a cheque for free money in the form of vacation pay. Woo! Hoo! Being fired totally rocks!
I was a little depressed today, but this has cheered me right up.
