The Good: On your way to work you notice that a company you would really like to work for is having a job fair.
The Bad: The job fair is 25 miles away, and if you go there you will miss a half day of work.
The Ugly: You call in sick and make the drive. While walking around you discover that your company has a booth at the job fair, and your, soon to be ex-, boss is sitting there staring at you.
The Good: You rationalize your new employment status and tell yourself that at least now you’ll have the time to work on the novel you’ve been planning to write.
