I know he feeling MM. I have been let go a few times, but only girlfriends were dickless enough to do it over the phone...


My experience says that it is always for the best. got canned from one job because one guy didnt like me, so of course he was the one i answered to. went from that one to a job that nearly doubled my income. They never gave me any work, so after 9 months of sitting in a cube, bored, posting on hdc and writing my own programs, i finally got the axe, and walking out of there felt like edward norton walking out of his office for the last time in fight club.. i whistled all the way to the car and smiled at everyone i passed, almost laughing at the fact that they "got to" stay...

my latest contract, he thinks he canned me, but i had quit the previous week. the project went over the allotted time by nearly double, which was a shock to him despite the fact that i told him we were runningout of hours and i was working on it hardcore for 2 weeks straight....

anywho, i have 2 simultaneous contracts now, which means a shitload of work and pressure, but a much bigger paycheck. and i like programming :)
