Got my 
official letter last Friday, detailing the particulars of the layoff (3/31).  I have to say it's a bit of a relief, but at the same time casts me into a state of 
the already and the not yet, to borrow a biblical phrase.  Many stress-filled days at work make me want to howl like a bear with a sore toe.  I just want to curl up in bed, throw the comforter over my head and burrow.  That's what I would do (if I wasn't playing WoW and getting entirely too little sleep).
I just want it to be over already.
