You're fired!

For the first time in my life, I was fired. After interning at a pharmaceutical for a year I was let go after an impromptu 'exit interview' earlier this evening. I had invested a lot of energy into this job and developed a fair amount of sentiment for the remedial tasks I accomplished. This instance was wrought with suspicious, shady actions and I blame my power-hungry coach for overreacting to petty situations, but I adhere to the fact that I am at fault as well.

Have any of you ever been fired from a job, and if so, how did you react?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's interesting you mention that because I was definitely grillin' the person firing me. Coincidentally enough, it was the same individual who hired me. He definitely was more nervous than I. The entire time, another random woman was seated next to me totally silent which made things even more tense. She introduced herself to me then said nothing the entire time! I didn't bother look at her and focused on the guy firing me, but he was too busy fidgeting and trying to remember his rehearsed lines.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
