Well, I got let go from work. More details later. Right now I've come home, told green_trilobite, calmed him down, and we're going grocery-shopping.

ETA 4:23 pm - Ok, so basically I'm not that surprised - the company changed their product line *and* their factory set up (and their database software) at the start of this year, and without going into detail, the transition has been anything but smooth - I'm sure they've taken some financial knocks as a result. Also, they'd been giving me fewer things to do for the last couple of months, and they were training some new people - some of whom I think were also let go today, while the remaining one probably became my replacement.

They're giving me six weeks pay in lieu of notice, a letter of recommendation, and my medical insurance continues until the end of October; all things I didn't get the last time I was fired from anywhere, so I'm not feeling too bad. Tomorrow I'll try the temp agency that got me this placement three years ago.

You're right about it not being the end of the world, but it's still difficult and I'm sorry.

Damn-I'm sorry! My fingers are crossed about your temp agency visit tomorrow. Hugs to you and green_trilobite.

Wow. Sounds like they did "right" by you insomuch as they could. Good luck tomorrow. You seem like a good egg - I think you'll find something quickly!

Sounds like they did OK by you. I've had to fire and lay-off people and the actual process, albeit not the aftermath, can be just as stressful on both sides. I'm sure you'll get something again - hopefully something closer to home this time! I'll let you know if I see anything for you in my job hunts.

Man, that does bite, though. I'm sorry. If you guys want to get together sometime, just let me know. (Sunday's not good.)

Ok. We might do Diners tomorrow night, and will probably drop by the Tesseracts launch on Saturday.

Sorry to hear it, but glad it happened in a relatively considerate way under the circumstances.
