I've never been fired, but Doug has (twice--once before and once 
after we were together).  Both times, a pretty spin was put on the 
firing and he was asked to resign.  

The latest was just last year.  We'd gone to a historic site in 
Roanoke, VA; bought a house (sight unseen), did the big move (in 2 
weeks!)--in short, we had decided that this was *it*.  That was in 
April.  In November, he was fired.  I had a feeling that it was going 
to happen, even kept warning him it was going to happen.  Luckily for 
us, his old job as Cooper/Carpenter here at Middleton Place was still 
open, and they also needed a weaver.  

We were unemployed all of one day.  8 months later, the hurt has 
subsided a lot (but not completely).  But, revenge is a dish best 
served cold (forgot who said that) & we are very lucky we've got a 
good boss.  The CEO doesn't have the sense the gods gave a sheep, but 
you can't have everything. ;)

Peace & Plenty,

BTW, know anyone who's in the market for a house in Roanoke, VA?  
Ours is for sale...
