Well, it has been about a year since that fateful day I was fired, my work-related trip was cancelled but I went anyway, and Uninspired was born. Believe it or not, I just returend from a work-related tradeshow. Here is what is different a year later:
1) I am happy in my job (which has comparable pay and better benefits than the job I was fired from)
2) I like my boss.
3) I am getting the opportunity to learn new things at work.
4) My company trusts me enough to let me set my own schedule, decide how to go about doing the work I am assigned, share company information with me with a minimum of up-the-ass smoke blowing.
5) I work with balanced people with normal egos, respect for their co-workers, who can have conversations and question things without getting all threatened and twitchy.
It is amazing what can happen in a year!!
