Today I learned: there is justice and balance in the Universe as I have just learned from an good friend and former collegue that my old boss, the one who was in charge of a creative department but....
 
-never watched TV and therefore had no idea who Rod Serling was, nor had ever seen an episode of the Twilight Zone and had never heard of the Reese's "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter' commercial.
-had the social graces of Ted Kazinski and Ed Gein
-was extremely happy to hear I got into a prestigous MBA program for working professionals, only to tell me one year later, "Well you're going to have to choose between work and school.'
 
This old boss, well let's just say her position was eliminated. I am so so freakin' happy for my former co-workers I can't stand it. Yet, I feel bad for the old boss. Truly was horrible at the job and truly miserable inside. This boss never spoke of friends or family. The only company the boss had is the animal. I've always pitied this person, because even though I've had to cope with downsizing and getting fired; I am extremely fortutnate to have exceptional friends and wonderful family to lean on in tough times.

The boss, does not. And I pity her.
 
But I'm sooooo happy the Universe does tend to balance things out every once in a while!

Today I learned: that it pays to quadruple check when sending out job application stuff. God am I kicking myself right about now, ugh!
