Unemployed

OK, so, I'm currently out of work. This is not entirely a bad thing. For those who have been following this, I've been pretty unhappy at work for the last year or so, and an incident in June pretty much had me looking for another job since that point. In August, I was ready to quit outright, but that option would have hurt me financially. So since then, I've been locked in 'just enough to get by' mode waiting for the hammer to fall. It fell on Wednesday.

The good thing is that patience earned me a respectable severance package, an excellent reference, and full investment and benefits in return for not pursuing the legal action that I very seriously could against the company. So, while unemployment sucks, I got what I wanted out of it. I have savings and investments as well, so I might take a few months to focus on writing before looking for work.

So, in short, out of work and not really unhappy about it.
