BAM! in la vie de TKP

Wow, that was really surreal.

I just got fired from my job. Like, two minutes ago, I was told, starting tomorrow, no more job. It was a PRN job which I guess means they used me on an "as needed" basis, which I guess means they can fire me with no warning? Or can you always fire someone without warning? A bunch of other people are getting shafted with Whatever Is Happening too; a bunch of the OR techs were just told they would only need to be there during actual surgery, which means they only need to be there for several hours a week, and some basically don't need to be there any more at all. But it's weird; it's confusing, and everybody except me is really sad but they're not acting that way.

I am not actually sad because this was a very temporary job that I was afraid I was going to get myself stuck in because I was too lazy to do anything about it. But now I'm going to be back in the flaily I-don't-know-what-to-do mode, the one where I know an English major can get jobs that pay, but I don't want to do anything except write, get published, be a big movie director, tango in Argentina with [livejournal.com profile] seraphcelene, open a bakery with my friend, be a big time editor, be a professor, study in India, start a cultural renaissance with my brother and s-i-l, live with nuns in the Alps, ride elephants in Malaysia, get a cabin in a woods somewhere and be creepy, be in a poet/author circle like the Beats or the Romantics or something, make a POTO movie with [livejournal.com profile] my_daroga, establish my Universal Theory Of Fiction, touch people's lives, and eat ice cream.

Ouch, sorry about the job, honey. Even if you didn't like the job and you didn't have "OMG CAREER FOR ME!" type love for it, still hard to hear, "Sorry, no more."

get a cabin in a woods somewhere and be creepy,

This is about all I can help you with. We can move into the woods together and be the creepy neighbors who frighten lost hikers. And then kill and eat their brainsssssss.

Thanks so much.

Dude, we could be such cool hack slash killers! Except for the part where I would be on your doorstep all the time making puppy eyes and asking you to watch B/A scenes with me, and we would eat so much that we wouldn't have room to eat brains!
