Unfortunately

Unfortunately, I was laid off Monday before last. My last day of work at the Conservancy was November 11, Veterans Day. I had to tell my mother that I had been laid off on her birthday (Nov.10). I was supposed to call her that day, but I knew if I did that she would be able to hear the hitch in my voice. So I could either not call her (on her birthday, of all days -_-) or call her and tell her the bad news. [sigh] I knew I had to call her, but it still sucked big time. The Conservancy is a non-profit, and the Wall St. fiasco trickled down to me in a “last hired, first fired” sort of situation. At least I wasn’t fired for doing a bad job, I guess, right?
I’m looking for work again. I’ll let you know if I have good news. Please pray for me. Or do whatever it is you do to garner favor with the gods.
