Sometimes Stuff Sucks

So I got fired from my job for stuff I didn't know I was doing wrong without any warning.

This is depressing as I actually liked my job. I think if I didn't like it I would feel better about it. I feel generally insulted, upset, hurt and angry. A part of me wants to drive away somewhere. When I was leaving Kingston to come home today I briefly thought about getting on the 401 eastbound and take off to Montreal, then head out east to NS, NB and PEI before taking off south through the States to Boston and the like.

A small part of me also wanted to slap my bosses around a bit. But that wouldn't really help me much. It would get me in more trouble. I'm just not that kind of person.

In the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal. People have been fired many times before from lots of jobs for no reason. And it's not like this was a career aspiration, it was only a summer job. Still I'm out money I needed for school and in general,
my ego feels kinda bruised.

Do I qualify for EI now?

So I pose a question to you, the readers. Do I:
1) Take 6 weeks off and work on my thesis/climb/relax and get a job in September when I get back to London?
or do I:
2) Try a few companies I used to work at to see if I can get a job for 6 weeks to recoup my losses?
or:
3) Should I have just driven East like I originally thought?
