<p>Well, after a year and a bit of being a dedicated employee...the new owners of the gas station I worked at decided that I "wasn't a good fit"...whatever that means. I have my suspicions but I resolved to not be bitter.</p>
<p>When I showed up for on the 21st I was told that I was finished. Just like that. No explanation.</p>
<p>I went through the entire gamut of emotions...I cried, then I got mad, I stayed awake at night wondering what I'd done wrong. Who was going to rescue the pigeons!</p>
<p>Then I decided that they'd done me a favour. I wasn't getting nearly enough hours anyways and couldn't find another part-time job.</p>
<p>I re-wrote my resume and handed out a dozen copies here, there, and anywhere. Just for the fun of it I filled out an on-line application for a local company. Could have knocked me over with a feather when I got an e-mail to arrange a phone interview. I actually almost deleted it as spam!!</p>
<p>Passed the phone interview and was asked to come in for some computer knowledge testing. Passed that and was offered the job. More hours, more pay, and if I hang around long enough, benefits even. I start on the 14th.</p>
<p>The job? Let's just say that if you answer the phone around suppertime and some girl with a Canadian accent says "Hi, my name's Lee Anne, and I'd like to interest you in...." don't hang it up too loudly, ok? My ears are a wee bit sensitive.</p>
<p>Oh, and about the pigeons. I've offered a "pigeon bounty" to the girls I used to work with. I'll give them $10 for every hurt bird they call me to come and get.</p>
<p>Isn't life grand?</p>
