I completely missed your post by not being around, and I'm so sorry to hear about your job. I know four people who've been let go in the past week, it's like an epidemic.

I absolutely think a bit of wallowing is more than justified. You need time to absorb what's happened, recover, and decide on your next course of action. Time to be scared, because who wouldn't be? A little wallowing doesn't mean permanent paralysis, just a vacation. A well-deserved vacation during which you watch the nasty little man Snyder get eaten by a really big snake, over and over again. ;)

Thinking good thoughts for you.
