Well the nightmare is over. I was terminated from my job less than an hour ago. I was told that I was performing at a good level and that I was well liked by the Associates in the store but that I lacked a level of dedication that a store Manager would need to display. Ironically the last line of my termination letter was "On behalf of the Company, I would like to thank you for your service and dedication to the Hudson's Bay Company."

I don't really know what I'm feeling right now. I'm calm, relieved, upset, defeated and kinda scared. I feel as though I'm walking towards the sun at dawn. It's still dark... and will possibly be for a while but things are going to get brighter. Hopefully my next job won't involve weekends or 10+ hour days.
