    Default haha just found out im fired-after seeing ad on myspace

    lmfao

    so i was asked to do a columist job for a huge magazine over here, like a weekly thing, i cancelled my entire freaking life practically thinking it was going to be all that.and today, i see the magazine advertising looking for girls for the exact same position i was offered and signed a contract for just 2 weeks ago.

    *sigh*

    should have just booked that one way flight to the UK when i had the chance. fuckers. would have been nice if they had contacted me to let me know they wernt running it too! they havent even replied to my emails. haha ive invoiced them for the full contract anyways!!!!

    dumb.

    but i guess it was all too good to be true

    Is it possible that they might just be looking for an additional writer? I wouldn't automatically assume I was fired unless it came straight from the boss.

    P.S. Now I must go look at your My Space.

    well, it was from the same guy who organised it all for me, and set me up with the contract, and just a few days ago he emailed saying my colum was being put on hold due to schedualling difficulties.


    meh, im pretty sure they really mean im out, and they want someone else, although i can also see how it could be read into that they may want a second columnist....doesnt explain why they wont reply to me tho,esp considering i can see they are online

    If you had a contract, then it's time to contact a lawyer. Don't let them fuck you out of money they owe.

    UPDATE!!


    i just rung them, and apparently, they are looking for EXTRA girls, and the mag is getting a new editor, so they have to put all of us on hold for a bit until they sort it out.
    so, i am still going to be a columnist, for at least 10 weeks, sometime in the next year i assume, its just a matter of when

    phew.

    lol stress levels....id just gotten to that accepting point of not caring too

    the ads still up, it was sent as a bulliten, so i dont know how to find it and post it, but just message dan from zoo, hes in my top friends, just pretend you read the bulliten hah

    it said something along the lines of " zoo is looking for a new sex columnist, send your contact details thru asap"

    That ad should SO begin with, "Can you fake it?! Then fake a hot steamy sex life for all of our readers! C'mon, we know you can!"
