So - Holy heck in a hand basket. Today's been a whirlwind. I guess I can stick around here and talk to you fine folks for a much longer time. On my way to the attorney's office, I called into my "Meeting" for my job. RIF City. They didn't feel compelled to release just me, but 15 of my other colleagues. At the time of the phone call, I thought it was just me and did the little song and dance. I then got a phone call from an insider right before I was supposed to walk into the attorney's office and told me 2 of my closest friends were walked out & locked out early this morning, and there was a list of 12 more. Some of the folks that were riffed were with the company for 15+ years. For real - I feel like a MAJOR weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I did retain the attorney to review some legal docs that I need to sign.
So I would do what every other american would do - Stopped for a sixer at the liquor store, and I am now enjoying some fine pulled pork my wife made, with some awesome mustard potato salad while sucking down some Lagunitas. I also picked up a 32 ounce bottle of
DogFish Head "Rosabi" which sounds like an amazing brew.
Either way - I don't know why but I feel free. I'm sure I'll be freaking out sooner or later when it hits me, but I know I'll be fine. Maybe this is my chance to exit to Arizona
