I woke up this past Tuesday, October 1st and Penny wasn't feeling good so I called in sick. At 11am I received a call from my big boss and an HR person that I was being laid off. One of 110 people in a corporate restructure. I knew it had been coming as I hadn't been in a good situation since coming back from maternity leave. It was to the point that something had to give. What gave was my job. All day, everyone kept asking me if I was okay and surprisingly, I felt set free from a toxic situation. Mad of course but freed. I guess you really don't know how bad things are until the universe ejects you from a situation and that is how I feel. I feel that God took me out a bad situation. I am staying positive about the whole situation and looking forward to what the future holds. Most of all I am enjoying my time with Penny. This situation has given me the unique opportunity to be able to spend time with the dearest of dear little girls and for that I am grateful. Luckily, I had already experienced a layoff early on in my career so I didn't have to go through that freak out phase. The last time I was off for 6 glorious months and it changed my life for the better. I am looking forward to this doing the same.
Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...
