Blessing in Disguise...? At this point, I just want to bang my head against a wall multiple times.
Out of all of the things that could possibly happen ON TOP OF yet ANOTHER lecture from my mom this morning, I get fired from Target.
It was over something I said on the Target page. It was just a joke coming from me, but corporate took it otherwise. So at approximately 2:45 pm today, I was asked to have a seat and was told that I was terminated.
So I'm sitting here at home waiting on Mom to get home so I can break the news while my cousin sits downstairs confused as to why I'm home so early.
I intend on being totally adult about it. If they can't take it, then that's their problem, not mine. After I was fired, I handed in my things (name badge, walkie talkie, etc) and left. I took a long walk around the mall and picked up a few more applications. Tomorrow I plan on spending plenty of time on the phone asking people I know about jobs.
I must also remember to "facebook" my Target friends. Even though I've only known them for like 4 months, I will still miss them to bits.
This also means that I'm going to have to either apply for forbearance or deferment pertaining to student loans. I really didn't want to have to do this, but, what other choices do I have really?
GREs are also on Thursday. I need to focus on that and not the comments I may get from either Carla or Mom about how irresponsible I am...again.
Math and Verbal. That is all.
What I also realized is that since it's the holidays, quite a few companies have already done their hiring. However, Regal Entertainment and FYE are hiring right now. (there's an upside.)
My chances at another job are also lessened. I've never been fired before.
This is really stupid to get fired over, but what's done is done. It's an awful feeling and having to face my family about this really BITES.
But like I said, I need to just tell them exactly what I'm planning on doing in an adult manner and focus my attention on the GREs. I cannot afford another screw up right now.
I'm a combination of pissed off/disappointed/bewilderment right now. Ugh.
