I lost my job….
I lost my job. It had been a long time since I enjoyed it. My boss, who hired me, was let go a few years ago, and a buffoon replaced him. It’s tough working for someone for whom you have little respect, who doesn’t know what he’s about, who can’t recall conversations or commitments made, but it’s tougher yet (and harder to digest) when the buffoon is the one who lets you go after nearly seven years. We all know at least in theory that life is not a meritocracy, but to experience first-hand that it doesn’t much matter how good your work is and that your fate is subject to the whims of a belly-button-gazing, spiritually stunted moron is pretty startling stuff. How many times do we have to lose our innocence?

So many asshole bosses out there. You’d have to be an idiot not to know that, just the odds. But now it’s worse. With so few jobs to go around these shitty managers or whatever they are can really screw things up irreparably. Answer? Assassins? Hard to detect poison?
