"I've got bad news," the foreman said, "We've got to finish you up," those words still echo inside my head, my mind went numb, I couldn't believe my ears, you can't sack me! I've been here three years! He's made a mistake, he can't mean me, he will soon change his mind, just wait,and see. But yes it was true, I've got no job, I've now lost the chance to earn a few bob, Ah, well, never mind, I heard myself say, then I just shook my head, and walked slowly away."

Just a suggestion, but maybe you can finish it off by saying ,when one door closes ,another one always opens. I've found this happening in my life a few times. Well written.
