Ok, so a few days ago I made this post about how I was going to be back on here, catching up on posts, etc. Well, the universe has a sick sense of humor.

Shortly after I posted that my day job fired 59 people. My boss, my coworkers, all gone. I, thankfully, still have my job. But I've spent my week carrying brown boxes out to people's cars and scrambling to keep tv on the air. This is the second major lay off in the past 9 months.

Yesterday I worked from 9am to 1am and I'm back again today.

I'm stunned and exhausted.

But I'm still here.

Oh, goodness, Cyran0! Golly, gee. I hope you get a breather so you can take care of yourself. That's horrible having to work more and say goodbye to good friends/coworkers without a "real" get together. Hard to think of what to say sometimes.

Congrats on doing a whole lot right so your boss gets gone but you're still there! That's not easy! You much be good at what you do (not that I doubted it for a momen :-)
