My employer of 12.5 years eliminated my position yesterday in a "reduction in force"/cost-cutting move, and I now have a whole lot of time to be spending at the range or doing honey-do tasks coming at me.
Oh yeah... I do have to start the new job search too.

I was the last to join a very large corporate (and very political) team after moving over from a separate smaller operating division (where I was a valued key member of their small staff for 11 years); me being the new guy, with the lowest # of direct reports, and a different view on the type and level of service we should be providing that other division, I've known for the last 1.5 years that I was at some risk.
Oh well...
I have a loving wife and family, a decent severance package, Faith in My Lord, excellent skills & experiences and a very positive attitude (that this was meant to be, and there is a grand plan for me) -- plus my leverguns, and the whole gang here too.

Still, it's a kick in the butt and sucks big time...
I do plan to be OK -- heck, even better than before over the long run -- but I'm sure there will be some up's and down's coming over the next 6+ months.
Wish me well fellas. Thanks!
