I got fired from a job just over six years ago. It was one of the best things that could have happened to me. I hated that job. I woke up every morning wondering if I had any sick days left. Long story short they fired me because my production, and quality dropped after we lost our son. So you can tell what a wonderful environment it was to work in.

They gave me two weeks severance, and promised not to fight my unemployment. So I just drew unemployment and worked a job for cash under the table until I was able to find a job.
