unemployment begins with trip to NM

In case the grapevine has broken down, or been harvested to make wine, I have been terminated just like a runner from carasel. I stepped off the elevator on friday to see my manager standing on the floor. That wouldn't have been wierd except he doesn't live in Cedar Rapids.

You know ovr the past serveral years and layoffs, I had always wondered how I would handle it when my turn came.

Well I can not begin to tell you how relieved I was. I sure didn't expect my own response. It was no longer my problem. Certainly I feel bad. But not that bad. It is not my problem anymore. I got a seat on the lifeboat. I sure feel sorry for the poor bastards still on the MCI Titanic.
