I had no idea how much I was loved until I got sacked. Friends have been forwarding job ops to me, offering to build and host websites, and there have been drive hugs and port donations. I even got a slightly teary phone call from my ex-director of human resources to make sure I'm okay. And now I have this tremendous opportunity.
See, there wasn't much room for growth at my last job. I loved it, I was loved by it, but no where to go. Now, I have time to think up what to do next. And given that I haven't taken a week off in 5 years and haven't been anywhere in 10, I'm going to consider myself on holiday for the next bit. I'm got to finish a couple of projects and tidy the house. I'm going to visit friends I haven't seen in way too long and perhaps my grandmother. I'm going to, quite possibly, go to the zoo. There might be a course involved, possibly fundraising or belly dancing. And when I've done all that I'm going to find another job, one were I can shine.

As Menya would say, it really sucks that you have to go through this to find out how much people love you.
I think you can tell a lot about a person by how they react when things go wrong. And you're amazing.
I am glad to hear you're enjoying the time off. Go girl, grow.
Love,
Kate
