Explanation

The main reason I was so livid in my last post, was due to issues with my past position. Basically, I was given an ultimatum from my boss, basically I had one month to improve to her standards, or she would 'let me go' so to speak. Well, I was about ready to wait for that one month mark, until something much sillier took place. My coworker, who shall remain nameless... wrote the boss a ridiculous email and she carbon copied myself in the message. This in turn, made it seem as if I aided her in writing the disgusting and immature email, which I of course did not. Who are you going to believe? An employee you're about to let go? Or, a really angry email full of profanities staring you in the face from your inbox? Guess who she believed? Well, oh intelligent readers... you guessed right. My position was in danger of pure termination at this point because of the circumstantial evidence with that stupid email that I took no part of. So, what did I do? I left the position before the situation got out of hand, and I was still able to walk away with my head held high and dignity intact. Now, although my so called 'friend' proved excellent points in this email, she did so in a very immature and overly emotional fashion. I completely disagree with her and the way she handled it. It was also unprofessional of her to include myself and yet another coworker in the text of the email itself. There was no such reason for any of this, and to be honest I am still really hurt and confused as to why it took place at all. Yes, I understand she was fired over the phone (the workings of my unprofessional boss) and that created a volcanic eruption of anger on her part, but she didn't have to to drag me down with her. It was just completely irresponsible. I do not consider that particular individual a 'friend' any longer. Why should I be friends with someone who has no regard for me or my financial situation? I would NEVER THROW ANYONE UNDER THE BUS. That's probably why I will never make the millions or be a top CEO of some fortune 500 company. I don't like the idea of stepping on people's toes to get ahead. Call it old fashioned, but it's just the way I roll. I am no longer on speaking terms with my previous employer or coworker. I do still converse occasionally with the other coworker involved in that situation. Due to compliance reasons, I dare not mention which company or any names from here on out. I really wish I could though. I had everything all planned out!!!! Due to the ridiculousness that occurred in the office on a daily basis, I already had it planned to go to corporate and file a complaint against my former boss. I still want to, but I don't know what leverage it will hold at this point seeing as the pickle I am now in with that particular company. I wasn't meant for that position anyway. Most days, I still don't know what I am 'meant for' or 'what is my purpose' in this so called life. One day, it will just hit me in the head I hope, or maybe I'll just float until I figure it out. All I know is, I still live by the hippy notion, that whatever it is I wind up doing in life... for the rest of my life... I want it to fulfill me and make me happy and proud everyday of whatever it is I am contributing to society. Maybe I should start writing that book, I keep saying I am going to write, or maybe start the play I keep trapped in the cobwebs of my imagination.
