So I got to work yesterday, my manager was waiting for me at the HR office as soon as I clocked in. I got fired for something that would be rewarded for being proactive anywhere else. This was horrible timing, with FWA right around the corner.

They are being "nice" enough to let me keep the discounted hotel rooms for the con. We are still going, but our tight budget just got even tighter.

To add to yesterday's fun, on the way home from getting fired, our brand new car with 5000 miles broke down and would not start. Luckily it was right near home and a dealership is a few miles away. They still have not figured out what is wrong with it, we got a loaner car tonight to use until ours is fixed.
