You know, I think I’m waiting for someone to catch me online, or on AIM, while I’m at work. I may be subconsciously setting myself up for a fall – because I’m lazy.
I’m all about easy. I like making as few decisions, taking as little action, as possible. Right now, getting fired would make things easy. I wouldn’t have to think about when to update my resume, if I should start looking for another job, or stick with this one, if I should kill myself for another promotion or just sit back. If I get fired, I’d have to get another job, the decision would be made for me.
That’s what I’m about: Taking steps now to reduce the number or scope of future decisions. Proper planning is the key to happiness.
It’s how I approach every aspect of my life. I anticipate as many possibilities as I can that stem from a given situation. I then formulate a plan of action (or inaction) designed to set me on the path to the best of those possible outcomes.
It’s worked so far, mostly.

While thinking about resumes you may want to think about how you'll state your being fired on them in a positive light.
I wasn't fired, "Management was restructured."
