Thanks so much for your very kinds words and helpful insights. I just needed to know how to answer those two questions and you've given me very good suggestions for handling them. I appreciate it--truly.
I already have a job interview this coming Tuesday at another law firm and it looks real good. I am setting up more interviews, but it's just good to know that others are interested in, at minimum, speaking to me regarding employment. To speak frankly, I know without a doubt I am a good worker, I just had the firing throw me off track a little bit and get me into a temporary panic.
Glad to hear you have a job interview set up, Inkie.
Nothing throws like being fired. Keep remembering how long you have worked and that you are a good worker. Don't let one a$$hole cloud your opinion of yourself. Remember he's an a$$hole.
