Really Stupid Day!!

So today wasn't the best of days. To begin with, I slept in so I had to hurry to make it to classes on time. After class I got off the bus and slipped on the ice. Not a slip and land on your butt, a full on feet in the air, land on my back type of slip... in front of everyone who was on the bus. Great right? Didn't hurt too bad, just embarrassing. So I make it back to work and Wham! I've officially been laid off. That was definitely the low point. It's kinda weird how quickly you can clean out your desk at a place you've worked at for almost 3 years. But I'm not the only one. Apparently they are laying off like 20% of the R&D Department. Stupid Economy. I know it sucks and I feel bad but it's actually kind of a blessing. It's only the first week of school but I was already feeling overwhelmed and contemplating quitting my job and just working part time somewhere. Now I'm eligible for unemployment and I can focus on school and training. We'll have to tighten our budget, but we were talking about doing that anyway. Now that I'm working past being upset about the whole thing I feeling pretty good about it. I'm pretty sad because I really liked my job and the people I worked with, but that's just how life goes. Now I'm looking forward to going to Chili's tonight and having Molten Chocolate Cake with my mom, sister and sister-in-laws. Chocolate cake fixes everything!!
