ravena_kadeI went into work today at my usual time. The HR people put me down for 5 hours today so I started at 5 and worked until 10. No one else was there until 9:30. The VP came in then because he drops his kids off at school and daycare.
At 6 AM the team lead calls to chat and say good bye. she said some nice things and then started to cry. Oh boy. I got along with her on the phone and if we could have met I think we could have been friends. She's not a great trainer, but she has a good heart. Next week will he hard for her because she is the only one to do my work and they have her doing testing of stuff I should have done and she is also covering for the Boston Boss who is on vacation. I feel bad.
The director came in and I asked to see him at 10. I thanked him for allowing to work from home last year while Dad recouped from heart surgery. I appreciated that. He seemed surprised that I wasn't upset. I told him that this wasn't my first trip to the rodeo. I said its not great timing with Dad needing more surgery, but maybe it is. He really tried to emphasize that he did not pick the timing. He said that they were screwed ow because the new system isn't ready. I said I knew that and I also know that he he didnt pick me, but the Boston Boss needed a person...so she picked me. He didnt say no. He gave me his work cell and said that he would risk giving me a reference. I thought that was nice. He said good luck. I wished him luck too as I think they are going to need it.
It was a very anti climatic day. When I left the insurance company I stood on the steps and said Free at last. Free at last" Here it was just "Meh"
Came home, went to lunch with Dad. He wants to get a new car. I told him he can look but I am not doing anything until after his surgery on Thursday. He said he found one that he liked. I told him that this was my day. I just got terminated, I have things to think about and do. Its my day not your day. He is such a child ...sigh...
My severance paperwork is signed and submitted. Paid a few bills. Working on clearing the office stuff out of my tiny kitchen.
Tomorrow I may try to sign up for unemployment on line. They say you can do it 24/7. I am uneasy about that. Also sad to find out that Massachusetts has dropped to 26 weeks from 30. Sigh. That is because we have low unemployment. The sad part is that many people my age without a degree cant get work right away that will cover their bills. I know I cant afford COBRA healthcare so I need to stay healthy.

Date: 2023-11-11 11:05 pm (UTC)Oh my goodness, that is a huge compliment. Don't be afraid to take him up on that offer.
He wants to get a new car.
How old is his current car? And does he work enough to afford the payments on a new car? (I think this sounds like a bad idea, given his health.)
I told him that this was my day. I just got terminated, I have things to think about and do. Its my day not your day.
*sighs* Oh dad. =(
