Ugh. So steamed about this because I’m sure you were clearly one of the greats — if you really enjoyed the work and took pride in doing it properly, you’re way ahead of most of the people who work there. Bureaucratic ineptitude makes me crazy. But it’s their loss!
This is great writing… I certainly relate to the meditative way a repetitive job feels. And, fortunately or unfortunately, I have been fired more than once myself…
Love a good story! 👏🏻 What a weird system to work with? I've never heard of that before!
I know right! It was very on brand for how everything at that job worked 😂😂
This story makes me mad still. Haha. But you handled it well.
All’s well that ends well I suppose 😂

Haha! Thank you, I feel I don’t deserve the compliment but I will take it anyway.
I didn’t know you were from Nebraska?!
Yup! Born and raised

That’s awesome. I wasn’t born here, but I now live in Lincoln. Glad to know another Nebraska-based writer!
