I HAve Cemented my Place in Hell
Well, it’s official. I am going to Hell. I fired someone today, and as everyone has felt the need to remind me, it’s only two weeks until Christmas. Never mind that it was a business decision (and a sound one at that), all I heard all day was what a horrible person I am. “Don’t you know what a bad job market it is?” ” Don’t you know Christmas is in 15 days?” Well, okay then. But dammit! My job is to counsel problems until we reach an impasse. So here it is, almost time for Santa, and one of mine is out of a job. I know it was for the best, but that knowledge offers little solace. If you’ll excuse me now, I have to go give blood and donate to Santa’s Helpers, and adopt a child from a third world country.
