What up, bullshit economy!
I was laid off yesterday afternoon, along with quite a large amount of the company. It's really sad because I really loved The Groop. I wanted to see the company do well. It was founded on such a great principles and fostered amazing talent. It was definitely the best company I've ever worked for, and much like breaking up with a significant other, I don't know if I'll ever find a company as amazing as The Groop was.
That said, this is definitely a blessing. Despite the fact that I literally have $4.14 in my bank account after vet bills over the weekend and rent, and I'm not really getting much of a severance package at all, and I no longer have a computer after selling mine to move up here, I don't feel that bad. But hey, if you want to help me eat, that would be awesome.
In true SF fashion, we decided to throw a Let's Get Drunk and Laid... Off party last night. It really showed me what an awesome friends I have here. They're pretty much the best people I could ever have around. So much support. So much congratulating rather than apologizing for the loss. I see this as a new beginning and an opportunity.
And speaking of good friends, jaylin once again showed how amazing she is and came over yesterday with an adorable care package complete with conditioner, a tiny pumpkin, chicken noodle soup and plastic spiders (naturally!). I hope everyone has someone in their life as wonderful and she is.
Oh yeah, we went on vacation and to BlizzCon.
