That's shoddy that they just got rid of you like that, Gal.  Oh well, life will be what it is.
I'm in the middle of changing jobs.  I was offered a position at another company with a lot more pay and better quality of work.  I'm sad to leave where I am now.  My boss is really good to me.  I broke the news to him the other week.  He asked me if I was being paid significantly more, which I am.  he asked how much more and when I told him, his immediate answer was "you're worth it."  He couldn't match it to keep me.  While I only needed to give two weeks notice, I asked him, how much notice would you like.  We agreed on the rest of the year, about two months.  This lets us wrap a few existing things up.  
Your boss is definitly right HEF, you're worth it. Must feel good to know that you're so well appreciated at your job. 
A manager from a herbal store in town offered me a job too, she wanted to offer me better payment, and only one sunday to work, but the only thing she couldn't offer me was a contract, this job would only be for 7 weeks. Not nearly enough to keep my paycheck going, cause I can't effort to keep changing jobs every 7 weeks. But it sure felt good to hear that at least someone wanted me for what I'm worth.
Keep it up HEF and good luck at the new job! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
