The Irony of It All



When endings happen, they aren't always welcomed. Especially, it seems in jobs and relationships. We are creatures of habit after all. We welcome the day to day of the known over the unknown.

The salon I have been working at has an owner who is married to someone on the se.x regi.stry. I didn't know this until a couple months ago. Not only that, she hired a young stylist who is an ass kisser to the point she started calling her mommy and her husband Daddy. That was where I drew the line.

On Tuesday, they fired me because I was distancing myself. I knew it was coming, so I had been compiling lists of to call when the shit show blew apart. And as usual, I am finding this was likely the best outcome overall.

Isn't it ironic that I am offended by the twisted antics of damaged people not in the lifestyle?
It's a crazy world...

Song for this post
Ironic - Alanis Morissette

Hey, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery, and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down
He thought, "Well, isn't this nice?"

And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face

It's a traffic jam when you're already late
A "No smoking" sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And yeah, I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

And yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

sorry, I guess. Sounds like you were at least ready, and that you will do their business more damage than they did to you.

Definitely ironic ... and I like that song but some of the "examples" never seemed to me to be ironic.

That is an amazing version isn't it? As I said, those who do music live and to that quality, that's art The moody blues shopped in my parents hippie store in 1970...How cool is that? That album is incredible start to finish.

"On Tuesday, they fired me because I was distancing myself." When you say distancing, what exactly does that mean? Is distancing something that a person can be fired for? In your country is there a difference between a layoff and being fired? I was volunteering at the food pantry most of the day and I am trying to catch up reading the blogs.

In certain states they can fire you for pretty much anything except discrimination, but they just dress it up as something else. Layoff means you can claim unemployment and sometimes if fired unjustifiably. Not worried moving on

For some reason I did not think you lived in the United States. I used to be familiar with those laws. I used to help my HR department document document cases that involved firings when unsafe acts were the cause. I actually saved a person's job when I was a customer at a Duncan Donuts. The owner tried kicking out three Jewish customers who were mentally challenged and he wanted the girl who was managing the place to do it. She refused and he fired her on the spot. I went home and wrote a letter of the whole incident, I gave it to the sister of the Manager. I told her to have her sister challenge the layoff with unemployment. I am a witness and I document things like this. She thought was some nut, but two weeks later she thanked me and said they were so impressed by the letter and her sister was able to collect. An old Jewish woman who got kicked out was there and heard the whole thing. She told me God would bless me.
