Just Got Fired Today [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2024-01-26  

Well I went to work today just like I have for the past 12 years, 8 months and 10 days. I worked until lunch, then I got called into the office and fired. They wouldn’t tell me why and the only thing that I can think is it might be because of the raft of anti trans laws that were passed in this state last year. I suppose it could be something else but that’s all that comes to mind at the moment.

At 64, (almost 64 anyway), I don’t have a great deal of opportunities or options. I guess I’ll file for unemployment though I’m not sure what I’m going to tell them when they ask why I was fired. I’m not sure what I’m going to do. Right now I’m torn between rage and depression and if it wasn’t for my cat, I would be tempted to pack my crap up in the car I bought and can no longer afford and just drive until I ran out of resources.

I’ve got some processing to do and I don’t know when I’ll feel like posting again, if ever. That’s it. I don’t know what else to say. Honestly just stunned. Goodbye until...someday
