One day more of work.
I am being laid off (I've known this for a little while). I've worked at the same company (through 1 name change) for the last 7 years (and 22 days). I've received 3 promotions in those seven years (ok, one was a lateral move, but surely a more technical job). My last review was absolutely glowing, and my raise was phenomenal.
I'm still losing my job.
I fear this will be the last "successful" (financially) job I'll ever have. I have worked with some really great, funny, intelligent people who I'll miss a lot. It may be the chick in me, but I'm really kind of sad about the whole thing (despite the job really going to shit for the last year). I know this will be my last unix job, unfortunately. Damn. I wish I could take my desktop with me.
I have thoughts of where I want my life to go from here.... financial success is a not factor which should outweigh personal fulfillment (In my mind), but in reality? On one hand, it's only money, but on another hand, the chance to interact with people you respect and admire, well, I've found it very rare in the jobs I have had.
Things will be fine, I know this is true, and I don't mind being a little sentimental - all too often I feel bad for not feeling anything.
