I should get drunk. I'm debating whether to spend the money. actually I have plenty of money. I could probably take the rest of the year off. But I'd really look like a slacker when I go into my next interview.
tell your next "employer" you got fired after refusing to change shifts. You gotta legit gripe on those grounds, legit for many employers too. Not nearly as bad as "I told my old boss to **** off and let me do it my way".
A) To Asher. I spelled it as was intended. Thank you very much.

I've only been fired once, and I was trying to get fired. But even though I was trying for it, it was still a shock when it happened. Sorry to hear about that.
Can you get any severance, or any unemployment insurance or anything like that? It has been my experience that if a company tries to deny a fired employee severance, a lawyer's letter can work wonders. A lot of firms will just cave in because they don't want the hassle of a lawsuit.
Anyway, good luck. Think of this as an opportunity to get out and do something new, jobwise.

When you're good at what you do, it's easy to get cocky. Ppl at my last job are still in disbelief that I was let go. that was 2 years ago. But get on the wrong side of management and anything can happen.
You'll go through a series of post-death emotions in the coming days. Just remember it's natural and progressive.
Don't think about your next gig yet. It's too soon -- unless you've been thinking about something specific for awhile. In that case, pursue the dream.
Your best bets for now are to pull together all your records, preparatory to creating a resume.
In the next few weeks, contact everyone you know professionally -- co-workers, ex-bosses, friends who are in positions of responsibility, etc -- and establish contact with them. This is your network. There's a good chance that, somewhere in there, you next gig lurks.
When networking (a term I despise), let people know what happened. The vibe you want to strike is "I had a great run there, but they wanted me to work night shift, so it was time to make a change." You don't want to be bitter, you can't play the blame game. You have to rise above and think in terms of the future. There's no percentage in dwelling on the past.
Glad to hear you're OK financially for now. So take a little time. Be angry for awhile. Get depressed. Get drunk. Grieve a little.
Just remember to pull together your resources -- your work history, any training records, and your network of business and personal contacts. Think about what industry you want to work in. This is an opportunity to get there.

Good point, STYOM. Getting your just desserts in unemployment benefits is critical.
OTOH, fighting the firing with a lawsuit has far less upside. If you know or have a lawyer, I suppose it would be smart to have a conversation -- off the clock. But in general, I'd advise against it, especially for a young person. If your old company was on shaky legal ground, they would have asked you to sign off on some sort of "hold harmless" agreement. Assuming that didn't happen, and you have no obvious evidence of wrongful termination, just walk away. No sense in getting a reputation as litigious. Unless, of course, you're going to clean up financially.

AWWWwwwww **Tia hugs Dis** my little schmoooopie poooooooopie that really sucks!
In a way Zkrib is right just don't be quite so blunt about it. Something like well there were several reasons for example they wanted me to switch shifts which didn't work with my schedule at the time and in retrospect I feel that I might have become a bit complacent. Admiting to some faults is good it humanizes you however, you also want to have the good things shine as well.
Sloww is right to. Many applications ask if it's ok to contact employer, it's perfectly understandable to put no if one is still considered an employee. They don't need to know your gone
