Career advisor Penelope Trunk discusses being fired in her latest blog post, and describes it as follows:

I have been fired a lot. Sometimes it has not mattered, like when my grandma fired me from her bookstore because I kept reading on the job. Sometimes it has been a bad scene with me shaking because I was so scared - like when I was fired at Ingram Micro for using the computer for non-work-related stuff (Yes, people got fired for that in 1995.) But I checked in with myself at Yahoo and realized that I was fine. I was not going to cry. I was actually in problem-solving mode. So I asked why I was being fired.
