2004-01-22 - 4:18 p.m. - Cycle day:

So, um, what I wrote in the last entry about being employed full-time? I'll have to take that back. I got a call a couple hours ago telling me that my position had been eliminated during my company's reorganization.

So ... that sucks.

Initial shell-shocked concerns ...

1) I don't really have any idea how I'm going to find a new job that has the salary and benefits of an established position, plus allows me to stay at home, while I'm taking care of an infant.

2) I've worked at the same company since I graduated from college. I liked my boss and had really good friends as co-workers. I'm going to miss it. A lot.

3) I'm scared of being at-home all the time, even though that's where I've been anyway. The idea of being at home with the baby and unemployed is a whole different story, psychologically.

4) I've never been fired before. It hurts.

There are a couple bright sides, but it's only been a couple hours and I still feel like wallowing.

So ... anyone have a need for a professional smartass?
