"She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick." --Flannery O' Connor

Ack!

I don't even know where to start with this blog tonight. It's been crazy around the ol' lily pad lately, and I'm trying to think what's the best way to sum up what's been going on. Well, how about this:

a) I got laid off.

b) Er, do I actually need a "b"?

So yeah, things have been interesting, and probably will continue to be for a while. But don't cry for me, Argentina! Because the truth is, after the initial shock and also my sadness at the thought of leaving some of the greatest co-workers anyone could ask for, and whom I will truly miss, I am excited for what the future might hold.

For example, a trip to Buenos Aires. (And here you thought that Argentina reference was just my usual pure randomness, didn't you? Tsk tsk.)

But more on that and other stuff in the weeks to come. In the meantime, I leave you with this inspiring thought for the day:

Just kidding. I don't actually have one; it just sounded like a cool way to end this post.

    Oh no! I feel your pain! I guess businesses have decided they don't need writers and editors. But, when they don't get as high a response to their mailings or their Web sites, they'll change their minds. Ugh. At least you have time to enjoy Buenos Aires. One of my friends was there last year and loved it. Good luck with everything!

    Just stay in Buenos Aires after you go! The job market can't be any worse than it is here. ;)

    And 'Arg' as well! You haven't paid some dark force to do horrible things to you so that you can be a complex writer...have you?? Because you're getting your money's worth. Hope you find something even better...if you ever come back to this hemisphere!
