Vicissitudes

Not sure what to write – don’t really remember where I left off. I guess I could have read it before I decided to post but what would be the point? 

It’s been a week now since I was told I will no longer have a job soon. I haven’t gone into work until today. I had another interview right around the corner from where I used to work so I thought I’d stop in and get some things I left there and talk a bit with some “friends”. It’s funny how differently I look at the people there now. In a new fresh light almost. OH! Something very fitting happened. I went to get a cup of coffee with my usual company mug. While trying to clean the week old gunk at the bottom it slipped and fell to the tile floor with a loud crash! People came from everywhere to see what happened (they could never keep their noses out of everyone else’s business. Anyway the cup ended up in many pieces. A fitting end to my employment there. Time to break with the old and move on to a new mug. I grabbed a paper cup poured some coffee and enjoyed the moment.
