I had started to write a post about my East Coast trip (which was great, btw) earlier this week, but got busy. Then I got laid off.

My great little engineering company (well, not mine per se, but it felt that way sometimes), in a very un-great move, laid off 40% of the company in one fell swoop, with no warning. Needless to say, I’m not thrilled, but I’m dealing just fine. There are worse things than being unemployed in Seattle in the summertime.
