Guess What?

So, a funny thing happened at work this afternoon.

Well, maybe not funny. Surprising? No, shocking is the best word.

I got laid off.

It was totally unexpected. They said that the company isn't doing so well, they're eliminating the position, it's nothing personal, blah blah blah.

So. Here we go again. It's Proof-quest 2012! New and exciting!

Yeah. I'm still processing this. Much, much more to come.

Aw crap, I'm sorry. That blows. I got laid off in July 2010, and I'm still looking. (The librarian job market? Not so good. Sigh.)

Aw gee -- I'm sorry! It might be better this time. I just hope you don't end up having to go into the city.

Whoa. I'm really sorry to hear that. My sister's in the same boat.

And, uh, amen to what Mary Ellen said, in spite of what I was told prior to enrolling in grad school.

Totally sucks, but opens the door for a more congenial employment opportunity. I say this because I believe it AND because I am too far away for you to smack me. ;-)

I'm picking up free-lancing on the side because the job openings I see are crrazyville in one way or another and I am a spoiled brat who can manage to put off the inevitable a little longer.

Carlos is going to be *so* happy!

I'm so sorry, CCR. As Kali said, the kitties will be overjoyed!
