RE: Have you ever been fired from a job for a really stupid reason?

I got fired from a job because I asked for too high a raise. You don't ask, you don't get right? In that case ...I didn't get :-(
I was devestated.
What do you do when that happens to you?
Mope around and regret what you did OR brush it off and welcome it as an opportunity for life taking a different route than you were expecting.
It turned out that it was the best thing could've happened to me.
I picked myself up and got jobs elsewhere with no issue and eventually ended up at the same place I originally got fired from and I made more money there than I've done anywhere else!
