I watched in horror as my job (aka sole paycheck to paycheck livlihood) spun out of control and plummeted in flames. It was not a long fall, certainly, but deadly nonetheless. In terms of this blog, this was no gentle rain, but a personal tsunami of the highest magnitude. Since my last post, I've lost my job, suffered the mortification of being escorted from the firm for attempting to report being forced to put myself and the firm at risk of liablity by misrepresenting myself to a major client and possibly compromising that client's confidential files. This is one of the largest, wealthiest and most powerful firms in the world. I am now facing the grim future of trying to find a way to pay the enormous debt incurred during my foray into academia, astronomical rent for sub-standard living, and bills--alone, unarmed, without a net. On Friday, I will suffer the undescribable humiliation of going back while they present me with the "opportunity" to apply for another position "no guarantees you will want it or be accepted...we can't give you any details about the position at this time."
