What happened

Ok, here is the real deal of what happened.
I am responsible for most of what happened, so I'm not looking for anyone to see me as a victim or anything.
I did make a mistake. I think they were very heavy handed over this. Perhaps they were wanting to get rid of me anyway and took this opportunity.
Strange thing is, last Thursday I was told I was being put on a week of probation. Then I get a call Monday asking me to come in to the office. I was out of town and told them I could not, so they just said they were going to fire me.
That's basically it.

So what brought all this on.
It goes back to the spider bite i had really. That was nearly a week and a half ago. Anyways, Monday before yesterday, I accidentally sent the wrong information to the webmaster, and that caused all the problems.
I was still feeling the effects of the spider bite, was not thinking clearly, and was pretty tired. I was working on a couple of other things, and Seaton started bugging me about getting something online about the officer being fired.
This was two days after the spider bite. I was still pretty sick, but had come in and worked half a day on sunday and was on my 12th hour of Monday. No excuse, but that's the deal.

I called a few people. Sent emails. Got an email from chief Wallace.
What I thought I did was type a sentence, and then I thought I sent that sentence to the webmaster. Apparently I sent the newscow story too. The webmaster put it all up there.
Honestly I dont even remember sending anything to the webmaster.
It was all a fog.

Ok, next I did something really stupid.
The next day, I didn't bother to look at what was actually on the site, so when questioned, I didn't give much of an answer.
I was not sure what had happened and was still feeling a little foggy headed.
By Wednesday I was saying I was sorry, apologizing and all that.
Thursday I was put on probation for a week. Monday they told me that I was being fired instead of being put on probation.

There was also some conflict over whether i had "talked" with chief Wallace. I had emailed with him. Wallace said he did not confirm the case with me and that was made into a big deal as well. His email said the firing of the officer had happened and what newscow wrote was accurate. I took that as confirmation. Wallace didn't think he did. I talked to Wallace later on, and he understood and did not feel I had ripped him at all.

So that's what happened.
I made a stupid mistake, But it was not something that was in the paper. It was an online update of a two day old story.
I didn't handle it real well in the days immediately afterwards.

Thats the deal.
