Yup, me too.

Well I didn't realize how prescient my last post was. Within a week of that posting, I too lost my job. As everything else at that job, even the layoff did not go well. Instead of just being forthright and saying that we have no work I'll have to let you go, it went down with me being called into the office and being forced to try and justify my continued existence at work. Within 30 seconds I could see what was going to happen and while justifying my work ethic and my commitment to the clients I worked with, I illuminated the issue that my boss seemed to take offense with me trying to serve the clients in a timely fashion. Unsurprisingly, it did not go well, though it was a stunner to hear that my boss did not appreciate efficiency or responsiveness. I knew I was done. I didn't go down without a fight. I insisted on a letter of reference and that I would not be fought on my unemployment benefits. To say I had thought this through before would be an understatement.

So now I spend my days being domestic, looking for jobs, and making dinner. My spouse thinks I'm in a better place now than I have been in 2 years. I would have to agree.
