"You're firing me?"

My mouth dropped open.

"We're laying you off," my boss corrected. "I'm very sorry, but we just have no need for so many computer programmers, so we're laying a few off,"

I took a deep breath. "Is it because...I wasn't doing a good job?" Okay, that sounded very childish.

"No, you were fine," he said "but as I said, we have no need for you,"

I felt a lump in my throat. "Well what do you expect me to do? I doubt anyone else would hire me. Should I work at Mc.Donalds until I can afford to go to school again?!"

"I don't know," his face was expressionless. "You may go now,"

I slammed my fist on his desk and stormed from the building.

It wasn't until I was in my car that I started to cry.
