The Career Sludge

On an unusually personal note, I lost my job as a freelancer at Victoria's Secret yesterday. This happened just minutes after I sent word of me putting in my resignation. There's no serious loss, but still a minor disappointment of being let go. Today is my last day and I start work as a staffed web designer just across the street at Random House in two weeks. I look forward to Random House because, after three interviews, I know everyone I'll be working with and they all seem great.

There was surprise from my coworkers about my firing from Victoria's Secret. The coworker I share a space with, Josh, is using my calm apathy to my firing and developing it into a comedic sketch for his improv class. I do take some of these events with a grain of salt. I prefer not to be someplace I'm not wanted and once I disconnect from a place or person, my indifference is hard to shake.
