i'm just waiting to be laid off... me and the rest of my coworkers. it seems inevitable, but i think everyone's just kind of whatever about it. we're all surprised we lasted this long, with the market as bad as it is. normally, i would be worried, especially since i'm almost 7 months pregnant. but honestly, as long as they give me my severance (in a mass layoff, i would get 60 days severance, plus a week for every year of service, PLUS my 12 weeks maternity leave (!!!), plus any vacation time i haven't used up, which is 3 weeks). i would try to find some part time work that i could do from home in the meantime, til the baby's born. W and i would love for me to be able to work from home part-time (sort of on my own schedule) so i could still stay home with the baby. and with the both of us here, it shouldn't be too hard for us to handle that. at least til the baby's about 12-18 months old and go to daycare or something. i dunno, honestly, i haven't really thought about it too much. i know, i need to think about these things now. i guess it's just difficult to plan when you really don't know what's ahead. oh well, like i said, i'm not too worried about it. :)
