One day I told a co-worker “You know, we have no job security. We could be fired any minute.”

He asked “Do you know something I don’t know?”

I told him “No, I just got a feeling.” Thirty minutes later I got fired. That was in 1984 and I still haven’t been told why.

I've only been fired once... actually, I wasn't even fired, I was just written up on something so unfair I quit. But anyway, what happened was my boss's boss came in and whisked by me with a hasty greeting and no eye contact.

And I just knew. I actually had my stuff in a box before they called me in. I knew my new immediate supervisor didn't like me. My previous boss had thought I was great, but she went to a different (better) company and the new girl... yeah. She had a friend she wanted to give my job to, and as far as I know, she did.
