You are fired >>fast forward 2 days>> You are hired!
Written by Critter on February 24, 2008 – 2:56 pm -So… I was made redundant from my company this past Friday. It happened during my yearly review. I actually got a weird feeling about it on Thursday when I was looking over my calendar for the next day. My review was setup for Friday at 4pm.. It just seemed like an odd time to me. End of day.. end of week.. Plus working in the mortgage industry, things have obviously been a bit slow lately.
I told one of the ladies that I work with, if there are two people on the phone, I am getting laid off. Sure enough, my boss rang, said hello, then introduced someone from HR.
I jumped in, “Oh, I guess you are letting me go”
“So you were expecting this?”
“Two people on the phone, one of them being from HR”
So.. long story short.. I was let go. I have a ton of stuff to ship back to the office, but whaddayado, eh?
I posted a video on Seesmic, Friday saying I was available for hire. It led to talks this morning with Loic and Johann, and I am now officially a Seesmic employee. FTW!!
Suwheet!

This is awesome news for more than just you (Congrats, btw). I was completely unimpressed with the Seesmic website, but when I found SeesmicAIR, it looked like a way I could actually use the service. With the last updated about the changed API, I was slightly concerned there would be no more SeesmicAIR updates, so now I’m assuming there will be, which is awesome for me!
This sounds like a total win-win-win situation for everyone!

Critter!! Congrats! That’s awesome news. Things always happen for a reason and I’m sure that when you first logged into Seesmic with that snake you never thought it would come to this. Congrats man!
