On Tuesday... I was let go. Technically, I was taken off of payroll and am still expected to do my job without consistent pay. Now I'm officially an unemployed attorney with student loans out the hoo hah and I've never felt better. I can't say that I'm upset. I think the correct description for now would be that I'm relieved. No longer will I have to take the blame for things that aren't my fault, no longer will I have to clean up pee or poop in my office, no longer will I have to show up to Hearings with last minute notice...no longer will I have to deal with lack of boundaries that I've dealt with for a long time... in fear that I'll be fired..I've been fired. It's not too bad. I feel like the really awesome girl on Fairly Legal...
Monday, I'll be heading to the unemployment office. Right now... I'm heading to the law school to use the free resources in order to cover a deed for a lady.
I can't really tell you why I was let go. My boss gave me numerous reasons and they changed often. My boss refused to give me the list of things I was doing wrong because she said it was too long. She simply put the blame on me (which the blame often falls on others at this office) and then she told me I could stick around and pay rent and continue to help her for less pay. My first reason I received was "You love your other business, your boyfriend, and pinterest more than your job." This I almost found humorous considering who doesn't prefer their personal life and their hobbies over work? The second reason was -- You haven't been here enough in the past two weeks. I'm sorry -- wait--- I took the first vacation since I started here in the last two weeks... that vacation included 2 days off work... and before that... my grandmother quickly passed away and I had to help my family. I guess funerals and vacations are too much to ask for...
See why I'm relieved?
Now that I've left off my steam.. I'll be writing a lot more openly about how the office ran. I'm hoping that people will learn from the warning signs I ignored...
Am I bitter? I think so.
