What a sign of the times TVFactFan and I'm sorry you lost your job. Sometimes petty jealousies come in the way of friendship in the workplace and any excuse is used in what is claimed to be a meritocracy to do away with what might be perceived as one of their rivals.

Sorry man. That really sucks.

MrCleveland · 06-06-2014, 03:38 PM

Sorry that you had to clean-out your desk (That's what I use for the term "Being Fired")...

I made an off-color joke at a retirement party last year which nearly made me get suspended...but at the time, I wish I should've got the suspension since my ex-pastor was in a scandal a-la Jimmy Bakker and Jessica Hahn...so I could get my **** together. But that comment I made me think of this Elton John song...

...but I'm STILL alive and STILL have the job that I thought I would lose...if I had to clean-out my desk at my job...which is my church...I would make a vow to never go there again! I'd even renounce my membership there...who needs church when you have Jesus?

That same week my pastor resigned...I knew someone who committed suicide...making 2013 for me the worst year ever!

Wow. Just recently some people sent me a few invitations for Linkedin pages, and I don't even have a Linkedin account. Nor do I think I really want one.

Sorry you lost your job. Wow, that's some BS right there.

I don't have LinkedIn but don't even want it anyway.

I'm sorry you lost your job.

Regarding Linkedin, I used to be getting e-mail notifications from people like my medical doctor to accept them. I found it very odd since I never signed up for a Linkedin account.

I asked my MD about it when I saw him and he looked very confused and told me that "he never sent my anything."
