end of an error -or- I’ll miss you most of all Alcohol Poisoning Girl
man…my throat is sore, I’m coughing and sneezing like crazy, and I’ve got a case of the chills that just won’t quick. I think I’m going to call in sick to work today…oh, wait, I don’t have a job anymore!
[written 12/23/05 — I haven’t been much for writing AND publishing these days]
so…
after 9 years, yesterday was my last day of work. I was laid off on the first of the month. it definately wasn’t a choice I would have made at this time in our lives, but it might just prove to be the best thing right now. If someone had done this to me last year I probably would have kissed someone on the lips and thanked them for doing what I could do myself. I mean, really, was it any surprise that I wasn’t happy?
I’ve gone through the range of emotions since I found out. Maybe I’ll write about them, but I doubt it — I’ve gotten to a very good mental place with it all and rehashing isn’t going to make that any better, but who knows what I’m going to feel like during January when it really sinks in and I am no longer making the commute.
