I was fired today.

I was fired today. They told me that they were ``downsizing'' and gave me three weeks severance pay. Sure, it was just a job writing shitty monkey code that connects a button to a database, but it still hurts. My boss said that I could list him as a reference, but he's a fuckstick, so I doubt it will help me get a job. Looks like I'll be scrubbing toilets with Kodak-chan. I was planning to watch a shit load of anime and masturbate for the entire weekend, but my dick won't work and I want to kill myself instead.

I hate my life and I hate programming.

No. A contractor that deals mostly with natural gas companies, that manages the records on all employees (welders, operators, etc...), and automatically updated when they were renewed their tests, or banned them if they did stupid crap like getting someone killed or costs lots of money (I heard of one welder who ruined 250K$ in 36 inch pipe by welding a dollar sign on every join).

They told me that because natural gas is so far down, the gas companies don't want to buy updates to 25 year old shitty code every year anymore. No idea how true it is though.
