i had a really cool job in a hospital that i loved....but after about one month, i noticed that i really didn't fit in with the group that i worked with. for one thing, i'm 59 and everyone else was quite a bit younger than me. we also dressed very differently. i was very conservative and they mostly looked like j.lo imitations!! soon the little snide things started.......i ignored it. i knew that the patients appreciated me and i knew that i had a very good relationship with the medical staff....but it grew and grew. at christmas they went out of their way to embarrass me and leave me out of the "group" discussions........long story short...a marvelous lie was concocted and i was fired. Oklahoma has an "at will" firing policy and there doesn't have to be a reason for the firing........BUT, i had copied the job description one day, when bored, and put it in my backpack. AND i have never done anything like that before...so here i am fired..and hurt and angry and broke. well, one of the ER docs that liked me called and told me that he knew why i took the job description!! so...i revised it, added to it and took it to the private hospital and will now be running their program in the Emergency Department! AND at more money than all of those twits make!! Now i know that life doesn't always turn out this way but isn't it sweet when it does??????? Pat
