Last Thursday I was called into my boss' office where he and the VP of Operations waited. They closed the door and then started some speech that I don't quite remember that culminated in telling me that I was being laid off, effective immediately.
The VP left me with my boss where we talked for a minute about how it had nothing to do with my performance or anything about me but was about cost cutting even though I had more seniority than 2 other people in my department.
Then I went to my office, packed up my desk, said goodbye to a few people and left.
Here I am, 14 weeks pregnant, with no clue this was coming, no real prospects, and no paycheck. Yes, I get unemployment but there's still a $1000 gap between where we were and where we will be now.
The plan is for me to look for a job but pull Addy out of daycare until something happens. If nothing happens, they I do the stay-at-home Mom gig until after this baby is born and then hit it hard core after that.
For now, I get 3 days where Addy is still in daycare and I get to wallow a little bit.
So far my wallowing has included getting dinner in the crock, doing laundry, cleaning and an occasional nap.
