The end
Well, thats it. I just got fired today. Apparently the 100hr+ weeks and the living and breething the job wasn't enough for them to contiune to under pay me for my work. I'm freelance baby and i'm outa here.
In all honesty it just wasn't working out. I had pretty much decided i was going to quit soon, just kinda sucks they got me before I got them. I had no problems with the people I was working with, they were great. However, I just wasn't meshing with the management. They continually put me in bad situations with really high expectations, that I honestly don't think anyone but the most experienced veteran could have achieved. My objectives were generally unclear, and their biggest complaint was that i didn't do enough to go 'above and beyond' I didn't 'thrive'. But I don't know how I can go above and beyond when i've got to spend 60+hrs in a normal week on fixing errors and adding requested stuff, let alone 100+ during crunch time.
Whatever, i'm sure i'll write more later. Honestly I don't know exactly whats next for me, but i'm probably going to be moving back to ohio at least for a little while... try to find a job, maybe still in the industry, maybe not.

totally weak
That sucks. I used to have a dream of working in that industry, but honestly, I haven't heard one good thing about it. I hope it doesn't come to this, but at least by getting fired you're eligible for unemployment (at least, I think that's how that works).
Yeah bob, i dunno how it works either. Never been fired before. The outcome is obviously less than desireable, but i'm still glad i tried it. If i hadn't, i'd probably regret it for a long time.
Dude, that sucks. Hope you can find something a little more reasonable pretty quick.
i agree: totally weak. but still, you were playing for a living for a while there.
