It actually kinda sucks, at first you are like WHAT JUST HAPPENED and after it's just sadness that fills you inside and you stop to listening to why.
After that, you just pack yo shit and GTFOOOOOO. 
I realized that my life@this place would be shortlived after I got access to timesheets of previous interns. In just 6 months, I was their third intern. After counting out their hours, one was here for about 2 months, second one was a whole fucking 5 days. .
Hey, at least I was able to pay off my credit card. 
And, I have another opportunity lined up but I should know yes/no within 2 weeks.
Waiting is killing me so far  |

Pretzel should change it since it comes up way too much! Then again, people think I'm Swedish at times so I get why you keep it like that |

It's more fun this way, to confuse common peasants.
Before all of that, I shall drink my sorrows to this bottle of Whiskey I bought.

Sorry to hear that Prez..first rule is, don't be sad about it  . It's a common occurrence these days, jobs sadly are volatile and we've all been through something like this (multiple times here..and still happening xD). It really sucks, but look on the bright side: you got some experience, and that will be useful, trust me. The fact that you already have an opportunity ready to be deployed (hopefully) is already positive

New York can suck a dick. Move to Madison, it's known as the economy proof city.
