Bear-Jacked

Week One. Again.

Deja vu.

I left Bear Stearns once. Just had to return to watch it die.

Peculiar parallels. When I left before, end of September '06, I'd left a bit prematurely and was faced with a stretch of uncertainty. Now, end of March '08, I'm faced with another stretch of uncertainty.

It's going to be okay. I'll get sorted out. I have before. I'll do it again and better.

I've gotten a weird range of reactions to getting laid off. Amused, congratulatory, grave, apologetic.

What's strange is that it almost feels like I never went back at all.
