44 people got laid off at my job today. to put it bluntly, im scared. its not that i dont do a great job because i do, but honestly if there is someone around thats going to cause discord in any nature.. with the way we're trying to cut back.. there would be no reason to keep them. i want to believe that my work would sufficiently advocate for me and that my potential would shine light on any shadows of doubt.. but im just plain old scared. not that i knew when i was going to come out, but i guess im pretty happy it wasnt last week. and im EXTRA happy that i still have a job today.
my weekend was beyond amazing. i met some of the coolest ladies, gents, older folks, everything at SCC this weekend. i learned a ton, made a caboose-load of contacts, and had an absolute BLAST just hanging out and talking to people. My friend A did indeed come up from Florida and we pretty much hung out late every night.. we didnt even find time for Wii (there's always next time).
i had shot number 8 on friday. went well. A was there and got to watch - so that was kinda cool.
i guess thats really all ive got to say today. there was a point this weekend where i got really uncomfortable and really kinda scared. scared of Tee wigging out on my one day. scared of not being able to handle myself and all that goes along with the transition. its not quite enough to stop me.. but it does make me worry. wont be surprised if a hair or two on my chest comes in gray. heh...

Don't stress too much about the job. I mean, for one thing, this is one of those things you can't control. For another, have you ever heard the "Last one hired, first one fired" rhyme? Yeah, you must kick butt pretty hard because they laid off 44 people and you weren't one of them. Businesses are nothing if not efficient. A good coder saves money because he gets more work done in less time. If you are working hard and giving it your all, then things will work out. As for coming out, that's not fun. I think you probably still have some time yet. Just make sure you have a plan and that you take it slow. Hang in there buddy!
Oh...and I just want to say...it was awesome hanging with you. I totally want to come up for my first shot. I'm going for blood work in the morning. When the blood work comes back...it's T time!!
