Welp.. I now have time for projects! (For now)
Turns out I have seen quite a goodly handful of hardworking good people at the company I workED for get let go, in a "Workforce Reduction". Its kinda spooky, cause they didnt do anything... just did a good job, busted ass and worked hard.
Well.. Went to work Monday, time for a 6 month review, etc, and all of it had already been filled out by me and my boss, and bosses boss. This was the sit down, and pat on the back meeting, after all the paperwork was done.
HR person was there with him. He said, sorry man, this is X from HR. Your position has been eliminated.

Soooo it turns out from what I gather they simply looked at the org chart, at very high upper level management level, and looked at the position titles, and said, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, and bam... a slew of positions were eliminated. Not really arbitrairily.. but, without looking at individual members, or merit or time in the firm, or anything. Just simply, poof. These spots are gone.
All the dead wood firings happened about a year or two ago.
Soooo

Time to get cracking on some projects while I wait for the severence check, and get all my paperwork sorted, and plaster the internet with resumes.
I got a nice package I guess.. and they have no issues with unemployment etc, plus I get to pay a retarded amount for insurance continuance.. sooo I will make the best of things, and take a breath and make a go of things. Its summertime, kids are out of school.. so I will take it as a mini-vacation.
