How can I not believe it's a conspiracy?

I sit here in awe at the turn of events. I was fired today. I worked one week, thought things were going well; only to be told that, "there is uncertainty about how they would use an assistant", or something along those lines. It seems to me that before you interview, hire and eventually FIRE someone, you would take some time to determine if it was something you really needed. After all, an experiment such as this one costs you money and time; not to mention the time and money of the experimentee. Right?

What's more, is that today I finally started to feel comfortable in the office. A week of that new person crap, and today I cleaned up my desk, figuring in my head what fun personal item I could bring for my desktop...I was ready to settle in.

All's okay, right? Cuz the other half is still working. Right?

I'm afraid not. I haven't yet reported this, per the other half's request. (now he gave me the okay) He was fired well over two weeks ago, also after only one week on the job. Both of our positions were brand new to each company, so that clearly leads to thin ice when you start up. This has been one of the shittiest past years of my life. Ever since we returned from SD; and my father's untimely death, the shit has hit the fan...repeatedly.

Thankfully, we will be able to pay for August on our rent, and that gives us another month to coast along (barely) and start the job search anew (the other half has been looking the past two weeks already).

Can someone answer this? Are we cursed? Seriously? What the FUCK is going on?

The other half has another job interview today. Please Lord, let him get it--for longer than a week if possible.

The positive (or perhaps rationalizing) side of my brain says that something truly great and big and full of fortune is around the corner for us. I said it before, this much negativity has to have an equal amount of good things. I don't deny that I've gotten negative over this stuff (shit, one blow after another, how could I not?), but I think both the other half and myself have remained relatively upbeat...even calm. I was in a daze on my way home from work (sorry, former work), but not surprised. Not that I was expecting such a thing to happen, but that it keeps in tradition w/ the wackiness we keep finding ourselves in.

What the hell is going on? Something has to change for us. I can't figure out what other steps to take to make it work. Here I am again--nervous, worried, upset.

JESUS CHRIST CAN WE GET A BREAK HERE!?
