I once was fired from a job I was volunteering for. I know , sounds like the movie Friday “How you goin' get fired, while working for free?” It was a small television station, I just graduated from undergrad, and I was trying to build my resume tape. Everyday I showed up on time, ready to learn, and ready to try things hands on. Well the boss thought I was trying to take his job. He wouldn't show me anything, he didn't help me learn, and gave advice that sounded more like I wasn't going to make it in the industry being who I was. So I took it upon myself to learn from the sports reporter and the camera man. The only ones that was williing to help. I was doing well with that but then the boss got mad and accused me of “hanging out” with the sports reporter and lazing around. After I assured him that he was sadly mistaken if he thought I would wake up 8am to go “hang out” with anyone, let alone not get paid for it, he fired me. I talked back to him and apparently you can't have conversations with adults. I was pissed! But then I calmed down and decided that that was the first lesson I learned while working in the industry…these people are crazy as hell! But I moved on from that and later (and only later) was I glad that I had worked there for a short time and learned a few things about tv production. Thanks for the blog!

Although the Jiangxi Province in the continuing heavy rain floods against a lot of work, but there are some deficiencies http://www.air-jordan-1.com/ and problems. Coupled with insufficient financial resources, Jiangxi Fangzong hope to get the support of State Flood Control Headquarters.

Winner for the must constructive comment goes to…Armond!

Changed the such is life expression – and the typo you pointed out. Appreciate the heads up there. How much do the typo police get paid these days?

Also – to your point about the number of comments – I always have and always will reply to most, if not every comment. It’s part of what I do – not to mention, I think it’s silly to ignore someone who comes by and takes the time to say something here. Which is why, yes, even with you, I’m taking the time to respond.

Make that 97 – for those of you keeping track.

I’m getting diabetes from reading all this. Allow me to add a sprinkle of negativity.

Typo 1: “So is life.” Not a saying. Close, but no.

Typo 2: “Shocked, upset, frustrated – but also relieved, optimistic, and excited about what the future may WILL bring.” No.

Typo 3: “I hold no grudges, and at this point can only look upward and onward.” Again, very close to an actual expression.

There are small punctuation errors as well, but I don’t want to get anal about this, know what I mean?

Side note: Leader in the clubhouse for Most Comments In This Article is Matt Cheuvront with 96. That’s not a typo.

Sorry about your life.

Haha…you almost did – man that seems like forever ago. I’d still very much be interested in working together if there are some ways we can collaborate. Love what you guys do with IDesign. Let me know.
