Being Fired
I went to my part-time job in Amsterdam. It was the last day of four consecutive working days. As usual, it was a fun and meaningful time. After work, while I was drinking at a bar, I received a message from my boss. She informed me that I was fired immediately. The reason was that I read an e-reader during working hours and sat on a chair at times. It felt unreasonable and made me depressed. I ended up drinking more than usual. The man sitting next to me gave me a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder. I did not know why, but it reminded me of when I was living in Los Angeles. I felt miserable and confused, so I could not sleep well. Anyway, everything is a gift from my God. I should receive it with gratitude, even when it feels difficult.
