In The Office, Dunder-Mifflin is facing bankruptcy. This is something of a familiar subject to me. Source Interlink was having nightmarish money problems in the months leading up to my layoff. The sensible thing to happen at The Office is to start taking out characters left and right...I doubt that'll happen. They will Find A Way.
Source didn't. And I was laid off.
It's strange for me to be at a company that's doing well, where joblessness isn't around every corner (well, it is in my head, but that's just me). I just got so used to impending doom that normalcy is...I don't know...unnatural?
I guess I'm getting a bit introspective because it's That Time of Year, where you reflect on what's gone on and what might yet come. I haven't decided what 2009 will go down as. A lot has changed for me this year.
Sorry. This entry got off-track. I am not much more deep thoughts, really; I prefer to see the humor in life and chuckle my way through it. Sometimes that's not possible. But sitting here contemplating everything that's gone on this year is spooking me just a bit. As recently as five months ago I imagined I'd be spending my November in San Diego with my parents. The day before my interview I'd taken a bunch of boxes down to their house - preparing to move back in after my lease was up. I love my parents very much. I think we'd have made the best of the situation.
Yet here I am, sitting on Cleveland - the couch I bought myself (and his companion chair, Quagmire) - with my feet propped up on the coffee table, still in the apartment I loved enough to stay in after a former roommate's family bought her a house.
For tonight, anyway, I count myself very lucky.
(Random insane rants will return tomorrow, I'm sure.)
(I FUCKING LOVE COMMAS!)
