nope - you don't get to say it

oh no, no way, not now.

You don't get to
say it.

I already did it.
"I am done with you."

Nope, not this time,
you are not the boss --
this was already
YOUR loss.

You can't quit
after you are fired.

Not only am I
done with YOU,
but someone new
has already been hired.

That's a brilliant finish. I like that. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I kind of like it too.:)

[NeiL ArandA]

Sometimes I wish we've never met
We could have averted all these pains and regrets .
Till death do as part they often say
But our marriage ended in dismay ...

Well written piece with a courage yo pick up all the pieces again and move on .

[Lyn Anderson]

That is the idea, there are a few pieces I choose to leave behind ...

[redflutterby]

Lmao...makes me think of that song by the Eagles..Already Gone. Some people have to think they get the last say even after theyve already been kicked to the curb. Out with the trash hun....good one!! ;-)

[Lyn Anderson]

Aww, I missed you. Thanks for popping in.

[redflutterby]

Thanks....I'm trying to get my s**t together and drag my a*s back on here. Can't keep a redhead down for long. Missed you too. ;-)

[Lyn Anderson]

No, that goes for mousy brunettes with dyed blonde streaks too lol.

I have sixteen employees... Believe it or not, this comes up from time to time.
Actually, sometimes they quit only to then falsely claim they they were fired to apply for unemployment...
then they have the audacity to reapply for a job.
This and the mirror you write about works out in relationships of all types.
Great reality check!

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, it does work for a lot of relationships, although I have one in particular in mind.

[David Scott]

I'm sorry... Well, sounds like it is in the past now. ;)
Stick a fork in it now.
Sounds like old Trump had a profound effect on society.
"Your Fired!" Ha.
I'm happy we are friends.

[Rob Santana]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Fuuuuck! This reminds me of someone here at WC, hahaha. That's what I usually say when I'm done with someone. You're fired!!!!! Hahaha. Nicely done KL.

[Lyn Anderson]

Wow. Nice to see you. Yep. That about sums it up.

[Ghost of Jupiter]

Clapping right now....hahaha can I use this??? haha wow you just nail it down with one final swing! Freaking awesome, your writing is just going to fill my library today.

Got to be courageous sometimes and yell it out...loudly...powerful hon x

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you as always.

[Madalyn Beck]

Bing! Bang! Boom! You own this, KL! I love the short and sweet, yet powerful expression of asserting your own independence. We don't need s****y people in our lives. Cut them out and never look back. xo (:

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much.

[s y e]
