Axed and new beginnings

Sorry for leaving you without any seasoning for so many weeks.

I was fired about 2 and a half weeks ago. Well actually I was constructively dismissed, which basically means I was forced to resign and all because I couldn’t get along with IT, even though I showed them hard evidence that we had made up and were playing nice.

The Boss Lady (who from hence forth will be called the Super Bitch), was very nasty. I think the hardest part was dealing with the betrayal carried out by the Super Bitch. As you know the 28th of May was my bday and the Friday before Super Bitch came along with the work peeps and gave me my gift like she was my friend but she was plotting my demise for weeks. Basically she couldn’t handle the situation between IT and I, she asked me to resign and offered me 2 months salary if I went quietly. She tried to scare me and attacked my work (to force my resignation), I could so easily have stood and fought (I had CSI type evidence on my side) but I didn’t have the emotional strength. So I threatened them with legal action and they gave me 3 months salary and leave pay. But I did have my say I There were lots of tears but the boyfriend, family, friends, and work peeps have been really great and supportive.

I miss Fifi, Mo, and White Boy so much. They were much like my extended family. You get attached to people when your own family is not near. I still wake up at 6 sometimes but promptly roll over. I miss talking over my problems with Fifi, arguing with Mo and interrupting White Boy. Not having internet access is breaking me.

But I have been very busy these past few weeks. Looking for a flat to rent in CT is a nightmare. And I graduated; my parents were here from Durbs, with video camera in hand (it would help if they knew how to use it). I will put up a picture of me in all my finery soon. I saw a great flat today so hold thumbs that Deeza and I get it.

About to run out of access time. Till later.
