The Transporter Couch

I got fired yesterday. Or maybe I quit. It’s a little ambiguous but since it’s ME talking and it’s MY forum I’m gonna take a ME stance and say I quit.

I won’t bother going into the details, but on the surface, they suspected me (but did not accuse me) of stealing from them. They vaguely offered me a “punishment stage” and I said no, thank you. And walked away.

Peter was looking like he was about to cry throughout the meeting. Judy just looked angry and disappointed.

Well I’m angry and disappointed too. I hope they both wept at the loss this supplies them. And while something DID happen, I said it was an accident and they didn’t trust me. And that’s what I said to them, “If you don’t trust me in this moment, you never will. And you don’t. And you won’t.” And that was my parting shot.

LOOK AT ME, I thought, in my anger. I’m wearing $900 worth of clothes. Why would you think I would steal $70 worth of liquor from you? What is it about my demeanor that would let you question my integrity; I do $10,000 deposits for you; I come in on time and at your behest; I ….. I ….. I just can’t believe they would believe I would steal.

But, the tie is broken. They don’t trust me. I’m very sad.
