As I walked into my office yesterday morning, my boss asked me to join him for an urgent meeting.  He was serious.  I panicked. 

You see, there have been some laying off going on around here, so I couldn’t avoid thinking about how I was going to pay for my rent, where I was going to find a job, etc. etc.  In addition, I was reading everywhere that Miss California just got fired.  I was thinking that if Miss California got fired, I probably was next.

Well, not quite yet.  Someone was fired at my office, but it wasn’t me!  It was my boss! 

So, what do you do when your boss is telling you that he had just been fired?

This was honestly a mixed experience.  I was happy that I wasn’t fired; but, I was sad that he was fired.  So, instead of being happy because he was finally gone and I was going to be released from having to deal with all his last minute projects, his ridiculous deadlines, his impossible expectations, and his unnecessary screamings, I really felt sad for him. So, either he was a good boss after all or I am just a really nice person.  I think this is more about the later than the former.
