Welcome back! Now go home
There were 100 great moments from our vacation but tonight I must digress into my own wallowing for a moment. Today after 9 years at my place of employment, I was laid off. The only other time I've been let go from a job was when I was 16 yrs old. So on my 1st day back from our wonderful trip I lost my job. It was a tumultuous day and I'm still numb from it all. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that as I sit here I don't have a job. I don't have a place that I have to get up and go to tomorrow. I wish I could feel the liberation in that but at this moment I feel more ...well... blank. I'm trying to fight off panic, worry, and doubt. How about excitement, opportunity and enthusiasm? I guess I'm somewhere in between. Mariana, Hilary and I will have to make some changes in the coming months- maybe some huge changes- and that has me a bit spooked.

Silly people losing awesome employee!
That really s*cks.
Yet another good thing about Sweden (and Norway): workers' rights.
We wish you could come back to Scandinavia and just stay and work here!
It was so empty when you went home, we miss you very much. So sorry to hear that you lost your job. We are confident that you will find a new job. Otherwise, you are always welcome to Sweden and start drive a excavator with me.
