The only problem is that my boss wants to fire me...
There's a lot more background and this isn't an exact quote, but the background is not entirely necessary and this is a short and pretty accurate of what he said today during our 45 min phone call "check in". "i don't feel like you have a sense of urgency...maybe i just don't know you well enough but i get the feeling that you're not one of those people who jumps up and down with joy"...WHAATTT. At what point would I ever get really excited at work? I'm staring at a computer screen all day, and barely get to talk to anybody. What's there to look excited about? WHOOO GREAT PHONE SCREEN! OMG LOOK AT THIS RESUME! CHEA.
At least I know in the future to always put on my "focused with the most important work of my life" face. Never let your guard down. Only the paranoid survive.
...and then, "it doesnt matter now b/c it's a no cost learning experience, but missing deadlines of this magnitude could be a serious setback to your future career".
Pretty sure that this type of job is not for me because all I thought was, "whoops...the only reason i'm reacting at all to this comment is b/c it wasn't my fault, you should have been clearer on what you expected instead of just saying that you'll be 'checking in' on Friday".
This is gonna be the longest three days ever. And thank YOU, tricia, for confirming this, all the better.
