Today I was laid off. And it is a good thing. I have been unhappy at work and I had an opportunity to get a package. I took it!
I am now in transition and my last day will be in May. I really don't have any definite plans other than to enjoy the summer. Come fall, I'll look at school or potentially part time work.
Yipeeeeee!

What a good attitude on what others may see as a sad experience.
Any situation that includes the word "retirement" sounds really good to me. I just can't afford to do such right now.
So congratulations on your semi-retirement!

Nice attitude! Can I say "congratulations"? Sounds like you are happy so that is all that matters! Enjoy a long summer and planning what comes next.

Oh my gosh, that's wonderful. Now I'm going to be fantasizing about getting a lay-off with a package!

As Judy says, things happen for a reason and it seems you have good reason to celebrate! What an adventure, starting something fresh in the fall. Congratulations!

Thanks everyone. I am excited and scared at the same time. But I know this is going to be great.

Marta, what a shock! I am sure that after a good rest and recovery period you will come up with a more exciting way to earn your living. (I still can't believe they would let someone as good as you leave!!)
