Fired

So my mom lost her job today due to an ongoing struggle with one of her superiors.

From what I've heard of the situation, she's completely in the right (though she did make a mistake, which was simply not asking for certain things in writing). However...

...for the past two weeks, we've hardly been able to buy groceries. As it stands, we're kinda running out of food-- when it comes to things I'm able to cook on my own, I'm down to a few cans of Campbell's and some cereal (without milk-- all we have is water and flavor packets).

So this is kind of the worst time to get fired.

Soooo I don't know what's going to happen but I'll keep you guys updated if there's any biggies.

Knowing my mom, she's going to. She's worked medical, management, and went to college for an English degree (wanted to be a teacher, I think). She's already filing for unemployment and sending out job applications; I'm only online because she's taking a break.

Your mom's putting in the work! I'm confident she'll find another job with an attitude like that! :)

Geez, I'm sorry about that Foxby! >< Her boss/superior sounded like a gigantic jerk, firing someone for what seems to be an incredibly stupid reason. At the very least, at least she's not stuck with them...though, well, I realize that's not the most helpful thing to say ><

Anyways, I wish her the best of the luck! It's good to here that she's already trying to get a new job.

Best of luck to you man; hope things improve soon.
If fate is a millstone, then we are the grist. There is nothing we can do. So I wish for strength.
If I cannot protect them from the wheel, then give me a strong blade, and enough strength... to shatter fate.
