I got laid off today.

I should have seen it coming. I should have drawn some conclusions from the fact that things have been much too slow, for far too long. I should have realized that it was just too good to be true - getting paid for swinging around in my comfy office chair, checking private email, browsing flist and reading slash. It just couldn't last, could it, eh?

Well, it's over now. Time to get reacquainted with the harsh reality of an unstable job market.

And no, I am not telling my parents. Not yet, anyway. My mum is just going to freak out. Which actually stresses me more than the fact of being unemployed per se. Funny, isn't it? Well, thank you, mother, for being the main stress factor of my existence. Again.

In other news, I slept about 4 hours last night - and yet have been unable so far to actually relax enough to take a nap. So I guess I'll go to bed now. For whatever it's worth.

At least I don't have to get up early tomorrow. Woohoo. There are good sides to everything. *snort*

Thanks for commiserating.;) It's not so bad, I would survive for at least half a year on what's saved on my bank account (even if I wasn't entitled to unemployment, which I am). I don't have a family to support. The only mouth I need to feed is my own...

I'm just still shell-shocked, and my mum's reaction is what worries me most... *sigh*

Plus, I know I suck at this whole "sell yourself well" thing. I always have. All I ever cared to learn about were most impractical things... *another sigh*
