A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh Tom! I am so sorry. 6 months is good though, and yes, take some walk around picture days, and double yes, get on with a few recruiters. You want I should ask my friends in IT who they use?
If you feel like a change of scenery, you know where there is a guest bed for you.

Consuela, it really sounds that by staying there you are setting yourself for a miserable day to day situation.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Oh, yuck, Tom. They let go of a very good person.
I survived my call and the project manager is very happy with what I have pulled together for her. Once we have this new process up and running, she wants to show it off to others - bringing me more work. Woot? I'm just ready for a nap, then I can jump back into the next steps for this.

ita, I am so sorry for your loss.
tom, I am sorry about the layoff. I know you weren't happy there, so my hope is that this turns out to be the push to a better job that is more fulfilling with more compatible colleagues.
2 consecutive days of full day groupthink meetings means that this introvert is at her desk, eating tylenol.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Tom, I'm so sorry! I hope that this leads to something awesome and better and just what you need, but I really wish it hadn't happened this way.
ita, I'm so sorry for your loss.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tom, that sucks. I'm sorry you couldn't leave on your own terms, with a new prospect waiting for you. I'm glad the severance is decent, though. Tiny silver lining.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh shit, Tom, I'm so sorry that your former office is full of fuckwits who don't know a good thing when it's been toiling away for them for 12 years. Here's hoping that several years from now, you'll find yourself saying, "That was the best thing that ever happened to me."
