It wasn't totally unexpected. We've been laying off people left and right. I figured it was just a matter of time before I'd get the axe too. As it turns out, they are combining two offices and since the office manager at the other office makes less than I do, well yours truly got let go.
Even though I've given myself permission to grieve, I seem to be doing ok so far, especially for someone who abhors uncertainty. I'm going to take a few days (or a week) to relax, clear my head, and figure out what I'm going to do next. Because I have no idea.

Oh no no no no no no no noooooooo.
DAMN it. NOW this economy has hit home. All I saw were the fat cats on Wall Street trembling and sweating but this isht done turned personal.
Good thing you've got a plan to relocate to the Shy anyway, and an engagement ring on ya. And were you still working one or two other jobs on the side?
And there's Unemployment checks to be had. And a nice opportunity to sleep in the mornings. Or workout harder at the gym (I like the chance to iPod my troubles away on the treadmill. The faster the song, the faster I run.)
Oh, and since you've been published recently, maybe you now can kick up the writing a notch (BAMM!!) and aim for a profession as a writer? You KNOW your stuff is good. I mean you do know that, right?
And what about all that reading you can now catch up on?
You know what?
This is a complete blessing. This is a door of opportunity swung open WIDE.

No, Alan. Sometimes (most times) I don't know that, which makes me scared to pursue that avenue.
This was a good morning though. It was the first time I've woken up without the use of an alarm clock. I got to sleep until my body was satisfied and it felt good.
Well stop it with the scared. Everyone who has been here at your blog knows this. Watch and see how they react herewith ...
Oh man, that sucks hard. But Alan's right, you can't let fear stop you from writing or doing whatever you want to do. Look at this as a chance to pursue anything you want. Good luck. Unemployment is not easy, I know from my experience, but hopefully you'll go for what you want in life full throttle!
Honey, GOD knows what is in store for YOU!!
GOD KNOWS! He has a PLAN for YOU!!!
All you have to do is pray, let Him take care of it, and you know, it's going to be better!
I know this--my sis-in-law- she suffered thru a bad job (actually she ministered to people there)then, she has a really great job!
I know it's a blow to you now, but it will get better, b/c God has something else in mind for YOU!!!
