Wait - did you get laid off?

Holy Crap! Sorry to finally "get it" - I am an insensitive cad...

All things happen...

Max, this piece really pulled at my heart-strings - and I completely empathized with you in that last little bit... very powerful, in my humble opinion.

I think it is one of the best pieces you have written - and maybe b/c it really fits with the times...

Thanks for a great blog post today on ChangeForge! The mental imagery led to a simultaneous emotional and logical response, which is a very effective way to get people thinking. I appreciate messages like this that stave off my complacency.

Plan B can be performed in small steps. For example:

Step 1 - start updating resume
Step 2 - drafting cover letter
Step 3 - set up alerts on job boards
etc

That of any help?

The last couple weeks have not been good for the economy - it'll be interesting to see how it trickles down. I always keep my eyes open for other opportunities, but getting Plan B moving is tough to do when Plan A is taking up all of your time.
