In regards to your post below about the advance notice of your job lost, i can kind of understand how you feel. I was very bitter towards Brian's bosses for not giving him notice, esp when one of they mentioned they have been putting it off for a few months because that boss didn't want to do it. I was upset because it could have given Brian more time to prepare, given me the opportunity to go full-time and get benefits, etc.
However there were times that I thought about what we had done during the summer like take a family vacation and that we wouldn't have done that knowing Brian was about to lose his job. So in some ways it was a blessing that we didn't know.
I think a job loss is almost like a death in the family. It is so emtional and stressful.

I keep on flipping on if I like the notice. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to adjust my budget.
There are also some amazing positions right now, that I wouldn't be applying for, if this wasn't going on.
It's a bit frustrating, because i'm the only one in this restructure that hasn't found a position yet.
I'm glad the remaining partner isn't taking me, she's made my life miserable countless times. I tried to bury the hatchet with her, and some of the things she said are making it hard to stay positive, and work on her clients.
I am cheating here and there. I'm wearing jeans most days, coming in a bit late, things like that.
