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.

I'm sorry, that sucks. I got made redundant last year, but less abruptly - that is, we were told that our jobs were going to cease to exist well in advance instead of on the day. It was still a huge shock to be told it though. My company sent us home for the rest of the day they told us - none of us were capable of thinking after the announcement.

Good luck finding something else - with any luck it will be something better.
