Weird Day
I woke up this morning at 8 o’clock with the intent to go for a run before heading to work, however I promptly fell back asleep until 9 (which is usually the time I leave for work). So I got up and made a mad dash for the subway hoping not to be too late. When I got to the office around 9:45, the door was still locked. I had gotten in before everyone else before so I didn’t think it was that weird, I was just relieved not to be late. So I sat around for a while and then began to wonder why still no one was showing up. Finally at 11 o’clock I wandered into the other office to find one of the boss ladies sitting in there alone. I asked, “Is anyone else coming in today?” “Well, actually, you should sit down, Julia,” she replied. Then she went onto tell me that on Friday (one of the days I work at vimeo) the investors had pulled the funding and they had fired everyone—except they neglected to inform me of this. The boss was like well we would love for you to keep working here but we have nothing for you to do. So basically…I mulled that over for about ten minutes then decided to leave. Cait and I then had chocolate chip belgium waffles for lunch and went to crafts night at Etsy labs. So even though I sort of got fired today, I think it was pretty fun
what the hell? thats insane.
