off… yes, its true, I got laid off yesterday.  As you all know I have been pretty unhappy with my current work situation.  As it turns out, the company is going under and a few of us got laid off yesterday at the end of the day.  It was a little emotional, but more so because the two managers in the office with me who broke the news were crying and when I am around someone that is crying I can’t help but get choked up.  They did not want to see me go and seemed very upset to be the barers of the CEO’s bad news but offered to help me in any way they can to find a new job.  I gave back the key and gathered my things, hugged everyone goodbye and called my Michael, really unsure of what to do, where to go from there.  He was such a rock for me yesterday I can not even tell you.  He assured me we were financially stable and that this happens all the time, especially in a market such as this.  He reminded me that I have been applying other places and I was unhappy there anyway so this is really a blessing in disguise.  Then he told me to get my butt to the gym!  I actually laughed out loud when he said this, but he was right.  He said he didnt want to hear me argue, that I should go for about an hour and work out my frustrations and I will feel better once I get home.  He was so right.  I spent that hour on the elliptical and in that time I had gone from teary depression to a major can do attitude.  I just need to be as disiplined in my job search as I have been in my weight loss journey and I will have a job in no time.  I am pretty irratated that I just dropped 120 bucks on a train pass for the month of August on MONDAY and I get laid off on Tuesday, but my gym is in center city so at least this way I dont have an excuse not to go.  I suppose everything works out the way it should.  Let’s just hope I find that next great step in my career (before I go batty!)
