What is it that you should do on the eve of a layoff? What files do you panic to send yourself from the company email that you KNEW you should not use for personal things - such as bashing exes, flirting with the next, downloading music, trashing bosses, and the rest of the thousand inappropriate ways you frittered away your time on the company dime? But, screw 'em. You were loyal to them... and they in turned dumped you like they had a hotter, younger and smarter one waiting in the wings. They don't of course. But you still feel like you gave them the best years of your life. This, is a lie. Not the best - it was a paycheck and not your life's ambition. And yet, you feel like they broke up with you, and, you, in turn look at them incredulously like "YOU are breaking up with ME?"

I always say it, but one day it will stick - no one gets anywhere by being complacent, and just enjoying your coworkers and the role you've decided to take somewhere. And yet I always do. I am one of those gits who can be happy anywhere. Maybe its the secret to old age, but it sho' won't pay my mortgage after the rumored severance runs out. GOD, I hope there is a severance.

Perhaps I will make a brilliant dog breeder, bee keeper, or other profession with multiple "e"s in it? What color is my freakin' parachute anyway?
