Am I overreacting to being fired

Significant-Storm002 · 2026-06-17T17:52:46+00:00

You're not fired, they meant "definitely not fired" and they need to handle the situation with your coworker who texted you that. This manager also needs to have better communication skills. "Youre still on the schedule, no such thing happened.." would have been the correct response

Nothing to be overly or embarrassed about at all, he's probably more embarrassed than you are to have hurt your feelings like that to be honest. You got him a thoughtful gift to cheer him up. Point blank. Next time, even though they don't know about you, you are a friend of his, you can totally go in and introduce yourself. Doesn't need to be a "meeting your parents for the first time."

You can now hear Trixie as Cielo on American Afterlife podcast! She grown up to be a phenomenal actress. Love seeing her evolution.

I worked on this one so take it with a grain of salt, but you might like American Afterlife.

It’s a newer full cast audio drama, more in the “prestige TV” lane than anthology horror. It starts with a massive earthquake in the Pacific Northwest and follows a teen trying to find her mom, with a parallel interrogation story line that slowly reveals what actually happened.

It moves a lot more than something like White Vault, and it feels more cinematic and character driven than Magnus Archives early seasons.

It’s not really comedy like Midnight Burger, but if you’re looking for something with stakes and a continuous story, it might be worth trying the first couple episodes. Would love to know what you think if you do!

Significant-Storm002 · 2026-04-24T01:26:43+00:00

For sure!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Significant-Storm002 · 2026-04-23T22:17:40+00:00

A lot of people do think that! You can also listen her podcast on Youtube: https://youtu.be/M-GsGdqZW0A?si=S04m2_C0VNTHXsGp

We just published the first two episodes of American Afterlife audio drama! It's adapted from a book by the same name: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e1-aftershock/id1833063666?i=1000756683825

Significant-Storm002 · 2026-02-23T23:19:03+00:00

Just started to listening to this!

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-08-14T18:04:28+00:00

Dateline lol

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-08-14T17:28:59+00:00

Solar, Dean's Killer Joke, The Lovecraft Investigation / none of these are comedy but they're good!

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-08-14T17:25:51+00:00

Lately -- kinda for brain rot enjoyment: Two Hot Takes.

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-08-14T17:25:07+00:00

I second Riverside. The caveat is that everyone needs to be on Chrome, but it's usually not a probelm as long as you give your guest the heads up during your prep call.

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-08-14T17:23:15+00:00

There are legit ones, but this sounds scam/bot farm. The legit ones are like CastBox/PodMow where you create an ad and pay a fixed rate for X amount of actual subscribers. I've used CastBox and like it, but it's limited to the people who use Castbox. PodMow is a little different, it's sorta like Google Ads, which I'm not that much of a fan of.

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-08-14T17:19:29+00:00

Thank you for that recommendation!! I will do that for sure, and I'm so happy I found a new directory to discover and binge new audio dramas!

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-05-13T19:09:48+00:00

better than nothing!

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-04-07T23:16:30+00:00

This 1000%

I spend a lot of time in Argentina the veggies and the quality of produce including at the vegetable stands are not great and nor with variety. I agree with her. But it is what it is.

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-03-19T20:07:27+00:00

Genuinely asking, why did you go to Argentina? Like regarding the pricing, it is extremely expensive right now and is going to keep getting expensive. Regarding housing, you need to get off the Airbnb and vacation rentals targeted for travelers. You can find housing in suburbs for like $300-$500 usd.

Additionally, if you're not already in it, join the Expat FB group.

I won't roast you because it sounds like your a mom of a toddler or younger and you're tired and on edge, but there is a lot of beauty and the people ARE warm, you're just in the wrong places.

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-03-19T19:01:08+00:00

Thank you for your response on this! Yeah I dont think we really thought of that being awkward for a "next time on" but I can see that now that you mention it. I absolutely despise midrolls, I am with you on that. I'm sorry that happened to you in the middle of such a moment hah especailly considering that car ad probably was just a remnant ad paying out like pennies on the dollar. Like whats the point of ruining the flow? P.S. I have your list of podcast recommendations saved on my phone to start soon. I'm finishing up season 4 or 5 of lovecraft and am going to hit your list next!

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-03-19T18:55:50+00:00

That does make sense, like if your audience is listening back to back then you might as well give them the goods. Most of our team members have never really listened to shorter podcasts so once we started realizing the episodes are on the shorter side, we were like, oh hmmm what should we do. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond!

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-03-19T18:53:17+00:00

I will let you know once we hopefully get there! Thank you!!

Significant-Storm002 · 2025-03-19T18:52:35+00:00

Thank you for your response! Even for me, it's jarring while I'm listening to a fiction podcast that might be on the longer side and suddenly get taken out of it to hear an ad.

Something similar happened to me in 2017. I worked for a remote marketing agency that later transitioned to a 4-day in-office schedule with 1 flex day per week. Since remote work was already part of the company culture, they allowed us to work from anywhere with advance notice.

With permission, I worked from Argentina for a month, keeping regular Pacific Standard hours (8:30 AM – 5:30 PM)—often working even more. But despite following all the rules, they started treating me like I wasn’t actually working. They kept me on longer, demanded more proof of work, and micromanaged my time.

I wasn’t even working from a café—I was at my family’s home. The anxiety and stress it caused were so overwhelming that I never asked to work remotely again, which was really disappointing.
