Dear Me,
You are supremely fond of being a person who hasn't burned a bridge (job-wise). No matter how pretty it makes you, it is extremely difficult to maintain when you are the one to be let go. Wouldn't it be so nice to answer an old customer's call with a rude response, or just never pass on a message? Pretty skippy.
Also, a lot easier to not burn a bridge when you leave of your own accord. This whole layoff thing leaves scars when you have to tell people what happened. It is like a break up where you keep thinking you are over it only to run into yet another friend who has no idea.
However, I hope this is a lot like other parts of life that have sucked. They get less sucky over time.
Buck up little camper.
