I just received a notice of termination from the Census. Their reason? Lack of work.

Hello? You never SCHEDULED me to work, you fuckwits! How am I supposed to report for work if you never TELL me when you want me to come in?

I mean. Okay. The job was shit. But it would have been a little tiny bit of income. It might have helped extend my unemployment benefits a couple weeks here and there. And plus? I've never been "terminated" from a job in my life. Bastards.


On the bright side, my landlord just brought up the A/C unit!! So I will have a cooled-off bedroom by bedtime! W00T.

Sorry, wot?

Is there anyone who's tried to work for the Census and had a positive experience? I've only heard bizarre stories of dysfunctional management.

it's true - and technically the reason is "lack of work" which could mean that they simply hired more people than they needed (though I really do suspect it had to do with my immediate request / demand that I get this coming week off)... but still. Jeebus.

How are you feeling?

You weren't fired -- they are saying that there is nothing for you to do. That's the exact wording that I had to put on the unemployment forms for my nanny when Ian started school.

Word.

And, yeah. Still bleurgh. But I read a lot, knitted some (long project with deadline nearing), napped, watched footie and then "The Doctor's Daughter," so not a bad day. It just came with all over aches and a jackhammer in my skull.
