Fired from a Job I Hated

There have gladly been a few developments in the last month. I was fired from the awful job I had. The job itself was ok if you took out all the stress of being asked to lie on a regular basis, being nagged every 5 minutes, the yelling and power struggles between the family members that supposedly "ran" the business, the constant harassment via phone calls and text messages at all hours of the day, the lack of benefits, various shady business practices, inability to trust employees with anything....oh wait a minute...maybe it wasn't really good now that I think of it!

I will say this though; being in such a stressful, high demanding environment for so long has given me an insane work ethic. I learn quickly. I work quickly. I adapt quickly and maybe most of all, I fully appreciate a normal working environment. I also picked up a lot of skills along the way and feel confident in my ability to take on a laundry list of responsibilities.

Evidence would suggest I was supposed to get fired because, I am not kidding you, not 1 week later was I contacted by another company who found my resume online. They were specifically looking for a training coordinator. This resume has been online for YEARS and not once has a legitimate company contacted me regarding my skills until this very moment in time. When they called me I felt a rush of calm and a feeling of peace. The next morning I went for an interview. By the end of the week I was hired.

 I cannot even express how happy I am to be there. The people are so kind. The company is NORMAL and people know how to treat you. No one has called my cell phone after work to ask me to work. No one has yelled at me. No one has made me feel like a pile of dog poop. I have not even come close to wanting to run to the bathroom to cry in frustration.

Life is good! Here are some butterflies and flowers!
