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.

You can totally share my pamphlet.

Lucky us, right?

Your generosity overwhelms me.

Oh yeah. For what it's worth, I'm viewing this as some time to have a no pressure recovery from my surgery, and once that's cleared up, get in a little travel. Then...time to start looking for a job that will almost invariably wind up with me no longer having the no crunch time school of management running things (which in this industry is light from the heavens)

Take some time to relax, no need to stress out about deadlines or your homophobic boss anymore, right?
