My company announced today that 500 people will be laid off come the first week of May... not the kind of lay I ever hope for. And now, I get to sit in idle anticipation of whether I will be one of the doomed to befall the proverbial axe. "Idle" is not in my usual repertoire of abilities, and I doubt that it will be in this case either. I've already done those "proactive" things like updating my resume, updating my LinkedIn profile and sending emails to my uber connected, career-driven compadres... so, now what? I suppose a responsible person would review their budget and begin slashing away. And yes, I'm certain to do that... but not tonight.
This evening, having already begun the opposite of idle positioning (ooh, I sound so freaky corporate! - I don't know whether to be impressed with myself or grossed out!) I opted for a more, one could say, idle behavior... having a beer. Yes, as you have likely read in previous posts, beer is a new love of mine. It's a rather new relationship, but I have high hopes for it. So far, beer has not done me wrong, leading me to believe we might be a match made in heaven! Well, that might be pushing it, but seriously, a good relationship of any kind in my world is reason enough to raise my glass high and say, "I'll have another!".

Dude. I'm compiling my gameplan as we speak. Let's talk.
