Yep, got fired.  I saw it coming, too, after something broke on my way in to work.  I said to myself, "I bet he's going to turn this into the excuse he wants to fire me."  Sure enough, he thought that i should have handheld the project manager (who called me) to troubleshoot the issue, and to guide him on the phone to power-cycle the machine.  I thought, "Why the hell would i assume the project manager has keys to the server room?"  He grumbled about the train delaying my arrival to work and i pointed out that, had i been driving, i would still have been far from work.  He responded by pantomiming himself troubleshooting the problem on the phone while driving.  I tried not to stare too much.

Anyway, i already have résumés out at Apple and Danger.  I think i'll spend next week having lunch with erikred and cleaning the garage so we can close our storage locker.  Anyone else want to spend some time with me?  Just drop me a line.  After all, i have no pressing engagements!  LOLOLOLOL*BANG*

I suspect you are wise. It'd be Windows anyhow. ;)

OH NOW YOU TELL ME YOU UNUTTERABLE BASTARD

Despite strong temptation, I have never ever actually hired someone without warning them about the Windows-ness of it all first. It's kinda sad, since the code /did/ run on BSD once... but that was a long time ago.
