laid off.

so i was kind of expecting this.
the boss called me in today and said he isn't going to be able to keep me busy for as long as he expected. which means i'll be updating my resume and having a chat with ross about cover letters tonight.
i just didn't expect it so soon. neither did boyd. he is kinda depressed about it.
it is nice to have your boss depressed about laying you off.

i am not looking forward to moving into full job-search mode. i hate job-searching. it is so hard to spend most of your life stomping on your own ego so that you don't put yourself forward too much and become a braggart and then go out and have to sell your own talents as though you are all that and a bag of chips.
or even cooler than a bag of chips.
maybe "all that and a rugby ball" or "all that and tiramisu"
no fun.

i thought about...

only posting this in vale797's journal as a response to his religious thing. but then i thought...this is a really lovely thing that everyone should know about.
so here it is:
