"Hi, it's me. I just woke up."
"Well, um."
"I am aware of what this means. I haven't even had time to get in the shower yet, so since you are firing me, or suspending me I have no urge to get on work clothes and be sent home."
"I have to talk it over with Karen."
"Well, I am going to get in the shower and call you back."
Post shower...
"This is out of my control"
"I'm aware."
"We need you to bring in your keys and any bank materials you may have at home."
I was fired this morning. I overslept. Being fired didn't shock me. I knew it was going to happen. Cleaning out my work station was really depressing though. That's too bad. I haven't cried yet. I should. I am upset, but I don't know if I am going to cry about it. I was 3 weeks away from being fully vested in my 401k. The extra sleep wasn't worth the 6 grand I lost this morning.
I just lost 6 years of my life today, for nothing.
I have already been to the store to see about picking up some more hours...I could work at the Claridge, if I wanted to and Katie can probably give me some hours at Pat's so you know...I'm sure it'll all work out.
It's making it really hard to get excited about going out of town this weekend.

Are you really that down about this, honestly? It's been a long time since you liked that job.
I am sad. I got fired. That's depressing. I am not prepared for this and the financial changes it brings.
I know what it's like to be fired. I think I am the Queen of being fired. I was fired five times in two years. It's completely sucky. However, something good always comes from it. You hated the job. It seems you hated most of the people you worked with.
You will definately find something better, and more suited to you. Trust me. Remember, I'm the Queen.

Maybe the depression stems from letting yourself get fired. I think on a subconcious level, it was no accident, whether you are prepared financially or not. Your "self" must realize that emotional and "spiritual" (for lack of a better word) are going to outweigh any temporary financial benefits.
