Myself and more than twenty others were laid off from my company yesterday with no warning. We were called into meetings in groups of about five at a time, chatted up by the human resources ladies, and then abruptly let go. We were then escorted from the building.

This is a handout that was in our "bye bye!" packets. Don't you just love that exclamation mark? So cheery!

I'm still sort of numb and in shock. I can't believe I didn't get up and go to work today. I hate the idea that I have to start the long, annoying process of looking for work again. I actually liked my job. I was good at my job. But with the economy the way it is, my (former) company was forced to eliminate my job.

Thank you, George W. Bush, for this unique opportunity to be unemployed.

Hey!! Just wanted to say how sorry I am about all of this. I've been kind of shell-shocked and crazed without a copy editor and just realized that I should have checked in to see how you're doing!! It was a huge shock to everyone. I hope that the job search is progressing!!!

Let me know if you need anything and if I hear of any leads, I'll let you know!

Thanks! Yeah, I figured things would be pretty crazy there. I would definitely appreciate any leads. ;-)

I might be seeing you tomorrow for that Dave McKean thing! *fingers crossed*

Yeah, I should be there, barring any unforseen circumstances!
