I just read this post on firing an employee [caution, it does contain some potty words towards the end] and it struck me that I was lucky to be let go of my first job at only 16.  I was released because I was putting in the least hours of all of the office grunts.  The engineering firm that I was working for had three and I had the slowest schedule.  I learned at that job, making slightly more than minimum wage, that my time was money and that my charging others for my time was going to mean I was giving them something in return, not just a time card.  Its tough to be fired, and its tough to fire someone, but whatever it is that goes on in those situations you have to learn a thing or two, take responsibility for your actions and learn from things!
