im getting fired from my job. its only a matter of time. well, technically, they cant fire me, cause technically, i dont work there. i work for an agency that sounds out freelance designers and creative dorks. ive been working for fordham university for the past 3 months. ive been happy there cause everybody is really nice. my boss mentioned that a position might be created and pretty much made it seem like its mine - even asking how much salary i was expecting. so this position finally is real and, well, suddenly things have gotten weird. legally, they have to interview other people for the position. someone sent in their resume and sample work and the boss was looking at it and wasnt impressed. but she didnt know any details about this, so i went to the big boss lady. i asked her and she told me as of now, two people have applied - one of whom is me. the position has been up on their website for about 3 weeks now. she said as many as 500 people might apply, or it could just be the two of us. either way, she wants to set up a panel to judge our portfolios. i started feeling sick as i hear her saying this. is she fucking kidding me? i could make an entire portfolio just of the shit ive done there. as im walking out the door, she said - thank you for showing interest in the position. i almost threw up right there. so, like i said. im getting fired from my job. could be tomorrow, next week, or next month. so now i get to sit and wait until the rug is pulled out from under me - again.

Also, a late friend of mine used to say: The can kill you, but they can't eat you.
