It's almost my birthday. Normally I would be thinking of things to do, maybe I'd have the day off of work and I'd fill it with my favorite pastimes. As has been the norm for the last 2 months, that is no longer possible. The day will pass just like any other that's been happening since mid-March. It will be no different than the day before or the day after. It will simply just... be.

It's been a bit of a week, to say the least. Early in the week, there was a rumor floating around work that they were going to start laying people off. Obviously, this makes panic set in with even the most level-headed person, but as someone with a foot out the door and a history of layoffs... I started to freak. So, I did the logical thing and reached out to the new job (that was still waiting for me) and asked for a timetable. The answer I got was, more or less... June. Great! I relayed this information to my bosses at the old job and figured that was that.
