If you don't like to read random posts that aren't about nail polish then go ahead and skip over this post as it has nothing to do with nail polish. I just need to rant a little bit.
My day started out fantastic, my classes went well, I got a lot of my homework done and I even won a Twitter giveaway. I went to my research project meeting and made a great presentation that went over really well with everyone. After the meeting my boss caught me and asked if I could come talk to him. I thought that he wanted to talk to me about the recommedation that he is writing for me, but it wasn't. I got fired from my job.
Now to give you some background, my boss does not see what goes on in the lab, only my supervisor does. My supervisor and my boss met today and apparently my supervisor thinks that we don't work well together. I am literally completely thrown for a loop. I did everything that she had ever asked me to do with a smile on my face and I did it well. She would even say that I did a great job. Now mind you she never asked me to do a whole lot. I mostly sat around the lab and watched the machine. She seemed to have some control issues, but it never bothered me as I would probably be the same way. Imagine my surprise! My boss explained to me that he wasn't sure what was going on between my supervisor and I because he doesn't see us interact, but he felt that it was probably best if I didn't work for her anymore.
My boss is one of the nicest professors I know, so he let me down gently and he is going to talk to other professors to see if he can find other work for me, but that isn't a guarentee. I just don't know what I did wrong. If I knew what I did wrong, I could have fixed it. I know that I shouldn't take it personally because my supervisor has fired every other assistant that she has had before me, but I am still really upset. I wasn't terribly fond of her but I really liked my job and thought that I was doing a good job. I didn't want to be fired from my first job! I am at a loss here. Have you ever been fired? How did you deal with it? Again I apologize for the rant, I will probably delete this within a few hours lol.
