Fired in Journal

My coworker was fired today. I work in a small office and my department is only three people, including me. I really liked working with her, but she kept making mistakes. I felt so bad for her. I walked into work and heard her crying. She eventually told me in private she had been let go from the company and I would be taking over her accounts. I felt so bad watching her pack her things up into a box and leaving. I already miss her. Today was so weird without her there. She was such a nice person to have around and to chat with. Tomorrow the new girl will be taking her place. It was so awkward all day today! I’m sure it will be awkward tomorrow as well. I hope I’m not late tomorrow so I can be there before the new girl shows up. I’m so stressed out right now. I feel like it’s my first day again and I know nothing. I’ve never seen anyone get fired before and I’ve never been fired either. This is my first “real” job in the “real” world (you know one with insurance). It kinda just woke me up a little bit and I realized that nothing is permanent.
