So it's been a while...but today struck me hard. I wasn't around the last time this happened. Correction. I wasn't around for the round in December, but I was for the one in March.
It's inevitable I suppose.
We are a tight knit group here, we have fun, we work well together and yet the company is not doing well. We are all just waiting for the call - mourning the loss of positions that have already happened.
Today 6 of my friends, people I would actually hang out with, got laid off.
It's horrible.
I wonder how long I could stand on my own. How bad do I need medical insurance. How soon would I be able to get a new job. A million things circle my head and all the while there are thousands of other things reeling in my head, keeping me up at night.
It's a vicious cycle. Bright side though - I still have a job. I still live alone. I still have a life I wanted and built for myself. A few hitches here and there are not going to get me down because I have a great support system and loving friends and family.
I am a lucky girl, after all.
