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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 my_daroga, establish my Universal Theory Of Fiction, touch people's lives, and eat ice cream.

This is too much all at once. From the heights to the depths, for me, in like five minutes. I'm not processing. I want to be outraged on your behalf, but you're so taking it in stride that you've knocked the wind out of my sails.
Can you collect unemployment while you look for another position? I'll be ready for Argentina as soon as I get my passport. Give me three months. And I got to come to the Alps, too. Don't leave me behind!!

I wrote a story once about a tiny man a girl kept in a box and he was Argentinean. Coincidence? I think not.
I don't know anything about collecting unemployment...since it was like a temp job I don't know if I qualify? But anyway, I just spoke to my friend who actually said there was an admin job at *her* work were her bosses kept saying what they'd really like was "a smart student" to work the job part-time. That is exactly what I'm looking for as I apply to grad school, so it would be groovy.
Anyway, it's hard to complain about losing a job that I only ever regarded as a stepping stone. And lately I've been so comfortable in it (writing fanfic, hee!) that I've been worrying I won't remember to get myself out of it, you know? So it's all good.
But I still admire your exclamations and use of ampersands and asterisks! ;o)
