I'd pimp Allyson's book at work...
if I only had a job!
(OK, really, I am NOT that pathetic about being laid off, but I might as well get Pathetic Points while I qualify for them.)
As it is, I will be talking up the book in all the venues that I frequent.
msbelle, thank you! the acquaintance who is starting the adoption process is struggling with that answer, but I sent it to her to see if it will get her thinking about her own reasons in a fuller way.
I have a list of things to do again. I wonder if I'll accomplish anything other than having durable medical hardware removed?
does the book mention this website by name?
Kat, here is my to do list for you:
- have durable medical hardware removed
- eat
- sleep
- rest/watch tv
- pump
- visit babies
Theo, did your former place of employment offer you (and nutty I believe) a decent severance at least? Or help with placement since it was a layoff? Also, sorry about the layoff.
I strongly approve of Msbelle's list.
It's a good list. But honestly, the less I have to do, the more I worry.
Robin - did you get anything from us?
Kat, yes -- I actually got a generous severance in accord with my ten years, plus all my vacation pay, plus 3 months of an outplacement firm. It helps a lot with the natural bitterness of the situation (I
liked
my job!) to have the immediate financial situation in hand, and the luxury to be picky about my next move(s).
Know what I'm going to do now? Go back to my ex-workplace and pack up my excessively pack-ratty cubicle. I'm being subtly sadistic and wearing a polo shirt with the company logo on it. If anybody cries, it's not going to be me.
Happy birthday Tom!
msbelle's list would be mine if I decide I want children.
Will selectively pimp Allyson's book.
I seem to have caught the psycho from shrift.
MsBelle--Yes! and It was wonderful and thoughtful! I am a total loser for not writing a thank you card to you both. I ESPECIALLY loved Mac's card, which is up on our fridge. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
