Wow. I've just been laid off. It is a very odd feeling. My whole department, including our coworkers in Los Angeles and Denver, are being escorted out of the building. As I'm on vacation this week, I missed the impact of the HR person coming in to announce this change and the ceremonial removal of our office equipment.

Gee, and I have some addresses in my contacts list there that I'll wish I'd kept too. Not to mention some game documentation on the harddrive that I'll not be able to retrieve. Rats.

If this has to happen, at least it's happening now when I need to be home to take care of things. Still, it's a surprise and shock. Er, anyone willing to write me a job reference? :)
