"You can't fire me, I quit!"
or
"You can fire me, but when you realize what an asshole you are and offer to 'let' me come back, I will say to you: Thanks but No Thanks! [Asshole!]"
Speaking of themes, it's not unusual for me to be among the most diligent and competent workers at a company and simultaneously be the least paid/appreciated/respected. Honesty, reason, and an unwavering willingness to help out will get you nowhere at a lot of jobs, but I'm sure I'll find one where that's not the case.
The silver lining in this case is that there are a dozen people in the office who completely back me up, and are as sad to see me go as I am to leave. And I find that I am still capable of making difficult decisions based on principle. So it could be worse.

You are right. It can be difficult to make decisions based on principle especially when it comes to employment in exchange for the green bartering stuff. And you are right that if you were not able to do that, things would be a lot worse and for a lot longer!!
Yo Joe,
Glad you said "No" to bad boss. Hope someone there will write you a letter of reference (if film editing is still your passion). Ella said she'd be happy to bite him for you if she were there!
Hope you are not too disappointed, Joe.
Excuse the cliche', but - when one door closes, another door opens.
Go for it!
Love
you got sacked at your old gig?
glad you got something out of it.
more than they did i'm sure*.
