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*

I'm terribly terribly sorry to hear that. How come it happened so fast? Meaning isn't there in your country a certain obligatory time of notice before the job really ends? I will keep my fingers crossed that you will find another job soon.

I'm terribly sorry, too. And it happened just like that? Pack your things and go away? Frightening. Big warm hug and a kiss (the way you like it). Trzymaj sie.

I am so sorry to hear that. You have a few weeks to find a new job -- poor comfort maybe. Is it hard to get a new job? I do hope you are not feeling too bad. I have some fiction for you if that can be of any comfort ♥

Oh, that's awful. I suppose they think they were being sensitive by waiting until after the holidays to do it, too.

I hope you will find something you like better and that pays more, quickly!

((hugs and hopeful thoughts))
