Ha, congrats!

On Feb 6th I got three emails in the morning... first one was that I got my bonus for '08. About an hour later another email went out to the company saying that there were no pay raises this year. About 20 minutes later I got an email asking me to go to HR at 1030. I knew what was coming, and I was ready for it.

Best thing that's happened to me in years, as far as I'm concerned. My wife is a bit anxious, what with our firstborn on the way in just a couple weeks.

I had a pretty good job, paid OK, was steady and a good company. But it was boring as hell and I could NEVER seem to muster up the courage to try stuff I really wanted. Well, now I can. My severance is enough that I can try a couple things and STILL spend some time with the Little Baby Notfarnow. 2009 is gonna be a BANNER year!
