Just a quick update
Aug. 24th, 2012 07:19 amI got a layoff notice on Wednesday. My last day is September 25th.
I was informed this was coming on Monday, but I've seen it on the horizon for much, much longer: I'd say the writing’s been on the wall for at least a year, and the signs got clearer last spring. I’ve been preparing myself both mentally and financially, and I get pretty decent severance, so even if I don’t find something right away, I’ll be all right. It’s not what I wanted, but given how things have been going with the company that owns my school, it’s been too late for that for a long time now. Given the current situation, I think it’s for the best. I’m ready.
