re: #152 negativ

Only in the rarest of circumstances can that be considered a good thing, but be thankful that you got a nice buyout. My employer laid off a bunch of people Friday, some who had been there for 10+ years, and get this: no severance package whatsoever, save for unused vacation time. I’m hoping nobody comes in shooting on Monday. We have armed security, but honestly they make Barney Fife look like Delta Force.

Yep. That’s part of what’s making me moody…every time i start to get an attitude about it, i feel guilty about how much better my situation is than most. Sometimes you just want to carry a little anger around, you know?

Now that the stung pride is wearing off, though, I’m doing a better job of just being grateful about my situation in light of the larger picture of things.
