Well, sort of. One half of it anyway.
I'm no longer employed, as of today. Got called this morning, and told not to come in, that the I was being let go for "performance" reasons. Believe it or not, I can agree with that. I hated the work with a passion, and forcing myself to do work I hate is very difficult. My performance was spotty. I just wish I'd had a new job in the bag before this happened.
Still, I've got 1.5 paychecks coming. I know of a company that owes me another $1K. I've reopened my unemployment claim from last October, where I got to go through the waiting period already. I've got one interview lined up, and another interview in process of being lined up. I've got my contacts paying attention. And I've got the option of going the contracting route.
On top of it all, my wife noticed that I am much happier as soon as she got home.
Losing the job was annoying, but definitely not the worst thing to have happened. Life moves on, and I'll get income happening again.
I'm actually okay with this. Still wanted to share. Especially if somebody out there knows of somebody needing a developer or sysadmin in my area (NJ/PA).
