Weird...

Yesterday my company that I work for laid of tons of people. I was one of lucky ones that survived. It just feels weird now...they just came in so militant like and had the unlucky ones shut down their computers, told them briefly what was going on, had them grab very few personal items, ushered them into a room to get their severance packages, and escorted out by security.

It makes me feel very unstable...a feeling I don't like, and don't know how to cope with. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells constantly, and if I don't watch my step, I'll be next...although they've assured us they only were doing one round of axing people.

My husband says I have too big of a heart and that although it is normal to feel sympathy for the ones that lost their jobs, that I have to press on continue to do what I do to insure that I'm not "The List". I've been the unlucky one once before and it can really knock you for a loop, especially when you weren't even expecting it.

I'm just feeling weirded out by it all, and I'm not even sure why...
