got myself laid off

i got laid off this week. it's a bummer, but, really, i haven't been too happy with my career path as of late. so i guess it was a blessing in disguise--i can finish up my coursework without stress (the job had me on the road a lot), i can look for a real job now, and, well, i can write again! (they'd blocked all the fun spots and kept an eye on all our online activities). besides the state's about to clean house and shut down a lot of small offices like ours...and the day after they fired me they began a program which, in essence, will cause a lot of small offices to shut down. i'd rather get the axe and move on with life, than have that fear hanging over me on a day-to-day basis.
best part about it was i knew it was going to happen, and i told my bosses who did so that. they looked stunned and said 'how did you know?'
'a sinking ship has lots of leaks' was my response.
