Turn of Events

Honestly, I never thought this day would come. It is the day after a series of events transpired that have turned my world upside down. It is the day after the economy really affected me. It is the day after I was laid off.

It is difficult to go from a star player/go to team member to one of the casualties. It is difficult to go from, 'we can put her anywhere in any role and she will do just fine,' to 'your termination date is today. Would you like to pack your things today or would you like to come back to do that?'

The most difficult thing is trying to not take it personally.

So now the task at hand is to decide where to go from here. School? Soul search? Jump into a new job? Start a new career? Anyone have any ideas?

Over the last few months I have thought a lot about how jealous I am of the morning joggers I see running on the side of the road while everyone in their car is driving to work or other responsibilities. I guess I can now be one of those 7 am runners.
