Not sure what to think

[mrsbrown]

I lost my job today.  Actually, I know where it is, it's just not mine anymore.

This may be a good thing.  I certainly feel unenthusiastic about corporate life and working 9-5, 5 days a week. So I'm not inclined to be in a hurry about finding another one.

Maybe this is what I needed to get me to go into business on my own, but OMG so much to do!

I still need to write my presentation for the conference that I'm now going to, I need to change my flights so I can go to the conference and then I need to investigate and do all the things associated with being a sole trader in my industry, as well as the extra business/money making ideas I'd like to pursue.

Perhaps I'll start by writing the super list of doom so the stuff in my head has somewhere else to go...

And they waited until you got back from holidays to tell you. Bloody charming!

Oh well, congrats on becoming a consultant who can charge ridiculously exorbitant rates!

Pretty much what I was thinking too. Hope all is OK with you - it's always a bit demoralising to be told you've been made redundant, no matter how much/little you liked the job.

That's hard, I'm sorry. I'm glad you seem to be positive about it and seem to have ideas about where to go next.

my goodness. I didn't see that coming. Commiserations, congratulations both I suppose

I hope it turns out to be an excellent thing, shifting you into your dream job where you set your own hours, follow your own interests, don't have to put up with office politics, and really make a difference. But you will probably need a more ergonomic home workspace than the couch :) Best of luck!

Sorry to hear about the uncertainty, but good luck with the opportunity!

+1 to this. Sounds like it's a bit of a relief in a way? Could lead to good opportunities.
