doing much better today.
i got my portfolio up and running and my resume and cover letter are complete.
i sent them off to 5 positions earlier in the day and already i've gotten 4 call backs. haha. it's crazy.
lunch yesterday with the x boss really helped out a lot. i can't really get into the details of what was talked about but it was some extreme corporate b.s. that took place to boost the companies stock price at the expense of 55 employees in the u.s. i was most likely let go because my listing on the corporate organization chart was at the bottom because of my name within that group. i was the last on the list.
my boss has already gone out of his way to help me find a new position which is nice, and i just have a lot better feeling about the whole thing knowing it had absolutely nothing to do with me. he was literally given my name 5 minutes before he had to let me go. he said if he had a choice/say in the matter i would not have been the one he would have let go. not that that helps me at all.
the shitty part is i still haven't been able to sleep. it's been almost 2 full days. my mind has been racing with ideas, approaches and tactics to get my work up and running and i just can't shut my brain off. i played xbox for 6 hours last night and still i wasn't tired. i'm taking a shitload of tylenol pm tonight and hopefully i'll be able to get some sleep.
i can not stress this enough with you guys, i thank you all, so much, for all your kindness and words of encouragement. it means a ton. thank you.

(Jun 7 07, 11:26)uh... a big one.
i didnt actually read over that until yesterday. smoothed things over quite a bit but still i feel the need to get the ball rolling finding another place to work.
i was in the zone ya know.
it's like running a marathon. your body hits that zone at mile 5 or 6 and you're running on autopilot all systems go. within the last 6 months at macrovision i was really in the zone. i had great ideas, i was inspired and i was creating some really great work, i kind of want to keep that going ya know.
but then again *looks down* being in your boxers and a kiss t-shirt and not showering for the day fucking rocks. :)

Yikes dude. Didn't see this thread till now. Shit, that sucks. But it seems they threw you a bone on the way out. Here's hoping you land something way better, and then tame a bald eagle so you can fly on his back allowing you to shart crap-hammers on the heads of those responsible.

Kona you don't need Tylenol PM, just look for the pills called Tylenon Sleeptime, it's the same thing just not the pain part.

... or - if you can't get your hands on the Sleeptime... have your wife pop you one in the jaw right before bedtime - that way you won't be worried that you're over-medicating.
