Getting Laid Off

Listening to Bonobo.
Laptop in bed,
Early morning sun on the horizon.
The energy of thoughts flowing through my mind.
Abstract.

I feel nervous excitement race through my mind and body, I feel my foundation shaken. I feel. 




I was recently laid off from my job at Omerica Organic, the nerve. Be it as it may, I find my thoughts fluctuating between a bittersweet sense of loss and opportunity. The fact that one is laid off without notice always feels like getting slapped in the face. Without notice? No warning to prepare for the blow eh. Well, that’s exactly what happened last Monday afternoon. It only took an entire day of hard work (on a Monday too) until the wood shop manager and CEO sat me down for a meeting. Did I do something wrong sir? No, not even, it’s a matter of busy, of economics, of the market, of over spending.
