After more than 21 years with the same company, I was just informed that my services are no longer needed. The other two people in the company who perform the same job were similarly informed.

I'm still in shock.

Follow me over the fold for what may well turn out to be emotional, incoherent rambling. Consider this an apology in advance if it does.

This isn't a big long diary. It's not going to change the world. It's not a detailed analysis of some minutia regarding the election. It's just a look at one person's experience and I'm not going to apologize for posting it as a diary. If you're looking for something earthshaking, you probably want to navigate away from this diary.

I have some friends, a married couple, who are registered independent and admit to not being politically aware. They lean conservative where the vast majority of my other friends are all liberal.

A few months ago Mel said she didn't know who she would vote for in the presidential election (McCain was a lock then, Barack was not). I said "the only thing I'll say about that is that the next president will likely get as many as three appointments to the Supreme Court." Her response was "well we can't have McCain doing that!"

More below the fold.

After having spent a few days in San Antonio for a trade show, my friend Terry and I spent the 4th of July in Fredericksburg, Texas. Who knew I'd run into my peeps deep in the heart of Texas...?
