Corporate America rears it's ugly head!

I thought long and hard about whether or not to post about this subject but in my effort to always keep it real on my blog, I decided to go ahead and do it! Please don't interpret this post as a rant or rave or a bash on Corporate America. I'm simply filling you in on what's going on in my life right now.
Effective tomorrow, I am officially "displaced", "realigned", however you want to say it, I've essentially been layed off. My company has been reorganizing several of it's divisions over the last year and with that always comes budget cuts. Three people in my department have already been layed off this year, and now IT'S MY TURN unfortunately. As the youngest member of my team, with the least amount of experience (and no masters degree) I just became the victim of round two of displacements (along with two other of my more "seasoned" colleagues).
This is the type of thing that you think will never happen to you, or at least I thought that. You think, my boss likes me, my clients think I'm great, and I've won awards! I work hard and I'm great at what I do. I'm safe! That's not always the case and so I have just learned.
In digesting this large slice of humble pie over the past two weeks, I've realized that this is not the end of the world. This may complicate our lives right now and put certain plans on hold but as this song says... There's more than this. And I truly believe that. And I've been lucky enough to have the work experiences that I've had so far and I'm looking forward to what's next!
So as I embark upon the next few months of "pay-cation" (What my friends at work and I like to call it) hopefully I will find another job that I will love even more than my current job (corporate communications consultant). I also hope to have a little summer fun with all my friends who have the best, most important jobs in the world, stay at home mommies! Now that I'm home during the day now call me! Let's go to the beach!
