Laid off?

Today I was laid off. Lost my job.

No official warning was sounded. No heads up from top management.

There were rumors.

Definitely rumors. I was called in and given a letter. And out the door I went.

Rather than let it get me down, which would be pretty easy to do, I've decided to use it as a launching point.

I had allowed my personal life to slide when I started this job. It's embarrassing to admit. I have a cluttered house, my kitchen has been neglected, and my professional growth stunted.

Join me on my journey to reclaim a life. My house will be clean. My husband will once again enjoy a healthy dinner (and occasional cookies). And my professional skills will be evaluated, honed and put to use again.
