Diary of the newly laid off.. Well, I just got the 'official' letter of separation from my employer. Apparently, they can't leave me in peace for the weekend. Imagine which finger I'm holding up... I was doing better. Now I'm angry all over again...

Diary of the newly laid off... Logging into work this morning just opened old wounds. Well, fresh wounds. Still not attending meetings. Still don't know what will fall out of my mouth hole. So just avoiding being in that situation. Just being an emotional, messy human... Thanks for listening...
Diary of the newly laid off... Started the day staring at the screen and crying. After lunch I started getting sh** together. Then my crit partner presented me with some other options. So the beginning of new adventures I guess. Not sure what I want that adventure to look like yet. I'm still angry as F, but this job is now my past. Sorry, employer, we're over.
School's Out Forever!
