I had a meeting right at 9 this morning, which meant I had to sit in a crappy traffic jam for an hour and get to the office at 9:05, already late for my meeting. A meeting where I learned that my company was laying people off today. Not me. My job is safe. But other people lost their jobs today. People I liked and respected and cared about and I will miss them.

That’s all I’ll say about it, but to not mention it at all would be wrong and fake and I just couldn’t blather on about Twitter and Facebook tonight (now you know what to look forward to tomorrow) and not acknowledge what happened.

Then I heard that a girl I work with got hit by a car in front of our building last night and is in the hospital with serious injuries. I don’t know her very well, but she is sweet and nice and I really hope she’ll be ok.

And hey, then the stock market decided to completely fall apart. It was the perfect cap on a crappy day.

Let’s hope tomorrow is better. It kind of has to be.
