well, mike, they fired you, because you suck. They probably hated you, and you did them a favor-made the whole job easier. In fact, they probably had been hinting that you should be packing your things soon. Did you notice the nearest watercooler was unusually dry? Did you notice they would only let you take 1 pen at a time? Did they stop paying you, and move you to the basement...alone? These are signs that you won't have a job for much longer...

Which is totally the same at our job, except everyone loves you. Mostly to rag on you, but also because you're great for target practice. Oh, and you do good work.
