I'm living the nightmare and every morning I wake up knowing that I'll spend the next 10 hours in a place I hate, doing a job I don't like myself for doing. And on top of that, I spend a ton of time on my freelance writing, which is the lifeline that saves my sanity and allows me to be proud of myself. But - I haven't shared the good news. It is HIGHLY probable that I will be laid off five to six months from now! I'm saving money as fast as possible so I will have enough by then to travel around the world. Charles says I'm the only person he has ever met who grins ear to ear when layoffs are mentioned.
