"You're no longer a necessity to the company."
I cried the whole drive home. Maybe I cried out of shame and frustration. Or, maybe I was just plan relieved. It might have also been one of those oh-shit-what-now cries.
Either way, I was laid off from my job last Wednesday. Yep, E is unemployed. What's worse is that I didn't even get a severance. Thankfully, I feel better about it now. It was such a negative environment and I was so unhappy. That place sucked the soul out of people. I have a chance to find something better.
Now, the world is my oyster. If only I could find my pearl.

Wow. Congratulations. Isn't it amazing how sometimes life deals us exactly what we need, even if we don't realize that it is what we need. I also was laid off from a job once (3 days after escrow closed on my house) that I thought I really needed. But it was as if my subconscious took charge and created the lay-off because I had refused to quit. I ended up with a much better job a few months later. I know that you will as well. You are so intelligent, and from what I have read here on your blog, that work environment and boss were almost intolerable. You are going to discover someplace so much better suited for you now!
