It's cold tonight. And windy. I never like how it happens...was only a week ago I was in short sleeves and flip flops. And now tonight feels like it will never be warm again this year. Tonight, when I got home, I stood out in front of my house in the cool, blustery Fall air, gazed up at the nearly full moon and contemplated the purpose of my existence. I wondered if anyone else on Earth was doing the same thing at that moment. We got an e-mail at work today. H@llmark is cutting it's staff again. 80 - 90 people will be eliminated from the Creative Division next week. Suddenly I feel very insignificant. An e-mail like that will make you contemplate the purpose of your existence. I have no idea what I'll do if I lose my job. I wonder if there are any jobs to be had anywhere. Is the IT job market very strong? I'd have to go back to school for that, and I would probably have to work with (shudder) PCs. I just don't feel that the job market for graphic designers if very strong, not to mention that working Production at H@llmark doesn't leave you with very much to show in your portfolio. And even if I manage to escape with my job in tact, there's no way that all my friends will. I love everyone I work with. Next week is going to be depressing. *sigh*
