Well, sometimes fate takes care of things for you
I was laid off today! woo!
Well, on the plus side, I don't have to go to Utah next week.
On the minus side, I have to go find another job for real now.
They laid off like 8 people from the east office and 22 from the west or something. Kinda wacky stuff, that.
Eli came to WB and helped me pack up everything and now I am home.
Hmm... now what? Blah.
It was a funny thing, I was really chipper during the announcement meeting and all, and even in the part for an hour afterwards where they made us sit in a room because they didn't want us "wandering around the company destroying things". And i had a good attitude about packing up the office with Kristie watching, and Eli was so nice to come help me pack up and all, and then I went to say goodbye to a few people, and Fred and Avi were out to lunch and I saw Josh and said how I'd miss him and we'd have to get together and play video games sometime and he gave me a big hug and told me he'd miss me and asked for my email address and all, and then I just started crying on the way out of the office. I didn't realize I'd actually miss anyone, but I feel really sad that I couldn't say goodbye to Avi and Fred. I guess I already kind of said goodbye to Cat the other day when I told her I was thinking of leaving and all, but... sad sad. Hopefully I will catch Avi and Fred on AIM sometime.
Well, shrug. So are any of you in the position to hire an XML/Perl/Java geek any time soon?

I feel worse for the people laid off who have been there since JPRC. They've even had the same exact offices for years now, didn't even move when JPRC went under.
