jeffy

So yesterday I got laid off from my job. ECR. (Emotionally Complex Response for those not clued to the lingo) I've worked there for over 16 years. It was time for me to leave quite a few years back, so that's good. The severance package is generous so that's good. But with the economyzombies the way it's been, there's definitely a fear factor. But also since the economyzombies sucks so bad right now I feel like it's a good time to take a break, think thinky thoughts about what to do next, pour some effort into my extracurriculars, and start my search in a couple of months when the economyzombies might be better and I might be more ready to commit to another company.

It was almost 2am when I was about to go running last night, and B discouraged it so I waited until this morning. Went here for another 3.3km. Still not king. My ankle is making weird twingey feelings. Not pain, more just stretchy tingly. Doesn't seem to be getting worse so I figure I'll keep running on it. Been having some other joint stiffness in my knees and hips, but again, not so bad I'm thinking I should stop.

Spent the day packing up my cube at work. Amazing how much junk you can accumulate in 16 years. Passed on some historical treasures and boxed up all my toys and cube ornaments and books. A friend gave me a ride home with all that junk so it didn't have to melt in the rain on the back of my bike.

Thursday's my last day at the job and then I'm free. And unemployed. ECR.
