So, I was told this morning that the law department was reorganizing and eliminating my boss's position, which meant my position was gone, as well. I am unemployed. I am told I'm getting paid until the end of the month, and my formal termination date is November so that I'll be covered under insurance through that month, and assuming their severance agreement doesn't preclude me from claiming unemployment, I'll be getting severance. But it's still a bit of a shock.
I have to remain confident that I'm going to land on my feet, and I even hope I'll be able to upgrade my condition. There's still jobs, just a lot of competition for them. But considering it happened only about 2 -3 hours ago, I'm still in a bit of a free-fall at the moment. I expect there'll be some mild depression, but as always, I try and look on the bright side: I'll be able to clean house, and if I catch up on my rest, I might even feel like writing! However, that can wait for tomorrow; I think I'm going to be kind of playing it low key for the rest of the day.
