Well, that was a bit unexpected

I've been laid off!

Thinking back, I can see why they need to - the company is down to 3 properties and probably one more will be in receivership within 3 months. They can't afford me.

Sucks to be me though - I have 3 weeks severance and 2 weeks vacation (provided that I sign the release which on the first glance looks reasonable). I'll be eligible for the COBRA subsidy, and I have recent refills on all my meds. My transit pass is paid up for the end of the month.

COMB is going to flip his shit, though - he's out of town till tomorrow. I told HR that I'd be willing to do some personal-assistant stuff at a "mutually agreeable" rate p/t. I'm thinking 25% over my old hourly rate woudl be appropriate, if I get paid by personal check and not reportable income.

So tonight I whine, and then tomorrow I start crunching numbers.
I wonder if it's too late to get added to the Windycon Thursday banquet?
