What a DECADE I'm having........

I have not told anyone outside of my family until now for several reasons, but mostly because I didn't know how to tell anyone.

I was laid off from FastChannel last Friday.

I wasn't the only one, though. I was one of about 40 people out of 125 let go, including an entire product line. I figured that the reason I was chosen was mostly because I worked 3rd shift and they eliminated the shift. Of course this doesn't make me feel better. What makes me upset the most about it is that the company was giving everyone every indication that everything was going well and they have been spending money like water on travel and marketing. This layoff took everyone off guard (except the department heads and the CEO, of course).

As for me, I guess I'll be ok. I still have unemployment benefits left. And at least this time I have some help desk and IT experience under my belt. It's just that I LIKED this job, damnit!!
