Well, it happened.

The much anticipated layoffs in my department happened yesterday. Of the 6 of us, 3 are left. Actually, the 3 that got laid off have a job until August 12th if they want it, and after that, 2 months severence, so I'm thinking (hoping) that they will be able to get great jobs soon!

I'm one of the 'lucky' ones that didn't get hit, but that's always a double edged sword.

I've never really liked good-byes and after spending 8+ hours a day with these people, they've become 'family' so this is difficult.

On the other hand, it seems every time I've either quit a job willingly or had the job 'quit' me, I've ended up in a better place. I'm confident that this will happen to my 3 amigos here!
