Unemployed Again.

I'm a single Dad.
I spent last night until 4:00 AM in the emergency room with my son. He was covered from had to toe in hives. His fingers and toes were swollen like sausages. His lips were 3 times regular size. His tongue was swollen and he could barely speak. His eyes were red and puffy.
The meds they gave him knocked him out and I was told to expect him to sleep all day.
I called work and left a message why I would be late.
While I was on my way in, the owner called and told me not to bother, that I was fired for being late.
I made sure he had recieved the message as to "why".
He had.
Good ridance.
I didn't need this right now, but life is WAY to short.
And my life is way too complicated to have yet another Psycho to deal with.

ohhhhhhh, I"m so sorry to hear that it happened that way.
What a jackass.
I'm really sorry to hear this. That sucks. He wins The Boss From Hell prize, hands down.
I hope your son is doing OK.
Thanks for all the support.
All the other employees in his office were women, and he screamed at them all day. A real bully.
I think he pretty much hired me to do this catalog and now that I'm finished he wanted an excuse to axe me. I was starting to getting the feeling this might be the plan.
I'd have made more working for him freelance. So... I've been had. He never came through on the promised benifits.
What really ticks me off is there are other clients I should have been working harder for, but this job and it's deadlines were sucking the life out of me.
At least at the old company I felt reward in the work itself, and enjoyed my coworkers!
Probably a blessing to be out.
Unbelievable. What a complete ass. My thoughts are with you and your kids, Joe. Tough times indeed.
You'll get back on your feet soon, better than ever. You are way too talented not to. Someday you'll laugh at him the way I laugh at some of my old bosses.
Sorry to hear it man. How is your son? What happened?
Bummer. Sorry, Joe. You'll find something better, I'm sure.
