A funny interview exchange

So I had a phone interview yesterday.  Here's a funny part that I'll paraphrase to remove all the identifying parts.

Interviewer: So why are you no longer with your last company?
Me: They weren't happy with how my project was going.
Interviewer: So did a lot of people lose their jobs?
Me: No, just me.

That probably doesn't sound very good, does it?

When I met with the recruiter people they all just assumed everything was the economy.

Recruiter: The economy must still be hitting everyone hard if you lost your job.
Me: Yeah, it's still bad out there.

With them, I was able to sidestep my embarrassing situation.
