A Statistic

So today I became one of the millions of "laid-off" people you read about.

I can add this statistical fact to: Divorced, Bankrupt, Foreclosed. And now Unemployed.

This is all in the course of 2 years. Quite an accomplishment, really.

But here's the upside: I'm only 37 years old, I am smart and motivated. I have saved a small nest egg during the past year. I am no longer married to an alcoholic. I received a 4 week severance package plus my vacation time - all in all I have about 6 weeks before my cash flow becomes zero.

This is my opportunity to do what I want and am good at and I have 6 weeks to get this in order.

This is not to say I'm not shocked, depressed, angry, and numb.

Mainly I am numb right now. And it is time to go to bed.
