the hits keep coming

I was laid off the other day.

My first thought was YOU ARE BREAKING UP WITH ME???? Uhmmmm…I am the creative piece of brain here, not you. 

I worked at my company for 14 years but the last 4 have been miserable blur of buzzwords and corporate jargon. It’s amazing how so many words can come out of someone’s mouth and they have said nothing. 

I have found since I have got laid off a week ago that I have started listening to break up music. My 14 year job became an increasingly abusive relationship. As much as I wanted to leave I couldn’t leave the money. Just like a shit marriage. 

My husband and parents were stricken by panic. My daughter was thrilled. She said, “does this mean you are a stay at home mom?” I guess so. She pumped her fist and yelled “yessssss”. 

I was going to retire in 2 years so they speed up my timeline. They also blew the door wide open for me to reclaim my creativity. 

I am not concerned - my comebacks are epic!
