My days are numbered: o que isso significa?

Suppose yourself in this situation: You have a very demanding boss that's always mad at the littlest mistakes of his employees. On a very hectic day, you're so full of things to do you forget your boss asked for a contract the day before and should be handed in a few minutes during a meeting. You're so desperate to know there's really nothing you can do to get that contract on time, you start thinking this time your days are numbered at the company. But wait, what does that mean?

When your days are numbered, you're facing a very difficult situation. Sometimes, people say their days are numbered meaning their death is near. It's like their lives are hanging by a thread, and there are only a few numbered days before they die. Very easy huh? That's it for today. Talk to you next time!
