Went into work Tuesday morning. I showed up at the usual time ate my bagel and began to work. At about 8:45am I received an email invitation to a meeting with my director at 9:00am. I find that anytime a supervisor wants to speak to me that it's never good news. Today was no exception, she began with "Tim it's time for us to have a difficult conversation." At this point I've already checked out. After about 20 minuets of discussion I stood up shook her hand and thanked her for the opportunity. I must say that I was pretty elated at the fact of losing my job. Elated because to be honest, I was bored as shit!

I had spent the last 2 weeks pouring over laser toner POS data. Basically my job involved staring at a monitor and clicking a lot. It felt a bit like Diablo but not being a fan of such grindy grind fests, yeah I was bored. I know it sounds trite but I'm really taking this as an opportunity.

I'm super excited to hit the ground running again and begin searching  for a job I might actually like.

While I was getting the "You're fired speech" my boss pretty much told me that I'm way too creative for a job in an operations capacity. Which my brain interpreted as "You should be writing dummy". So it's time to search for that ever elusive full-time writing job, I've already applied for one at Capcom and am still looking for other opportunities, I might even try to get two or 3 part time or blogging gigs. Who knows?

After two jobs that started great and then became boring as all hell, it's time to stop settling. It's time to make this happen.
