I recently realized how close lay offs are to me. They are very close. Not quite here yet, but they are quite possibly in my future. A friend in a department next to mine is quite possibly getting the ax next week. Yikes. That hits home.

At first I panicked a bit. How the heck would I get by?

And now I am thinking that if it happens, I can take my life in a whole new direction. It will almost be forced, but I would not slip back into the daily hum drum of crap jobs I hate. I would most likely have to temp for a bit, but it would be a means to an end - not a forever thing!

I dunno what the point of this post is. I just realized today that I would be ok if I do get laid off. It'll be harder for a bit, for sure, but in the end I think I would prevail.

Happy Tuesday!
