#$%**@ Not again

February 27, 2008

With my publishing company up for sale I have lots going through my head. One thing, that I’m a pariah to any company I become a part of. The only company I was ever able to turn in my own resignation, since my departure has been doing amazing. They’ve expanded their publishing program and increased their staff. What the heck?

Time shall see what happens to us, hopefully our new parents want to keep the family together. But if not, should I find solace that some people have made their living on making it easier for the higher ups to rid themselves of superfluous employees?

If my other two layoffs have prepared me, I see a schedule of sleeping in, working out, Law-and-Order reruns, and finding humor in online antics.
