I feel like I've been at every end of the spectrum.
The reality of it is that in a few weeks all of the hard work I've done to earn the "stuff" will be useless because I'll be unemployed and there's no way in hell I'll find a job making the money I do now - until I graduate in December, that is. I've got to sell my house, withdraw all of the significant savings I've accumulated over my years with this company and move on.
It's only just hit me how the only thing I'm going to have left is my experiences and the relationships I've forged over the past several years. The material things we sweat and bleed for every day are the first things gone in a time of change.
I think these last years have totally changed my path in life. I suspect for the much mo' betta.
Still stoked on this year. Super stoked.

CiC - Most definitely.
Malach - The job depends on the pay, buddy.
I had a relatively high paying job right out of college and after 4 years, got laid off. It sucked. I pretty much had to give up everything.
The best lesson to take away from it all is that it is not the material shit that counts. It is the experience. Plus, once you go through that once, you are never afraid of going through it again.
Exactly right, Mike. Maybe it's a good thing that I learned this lesson so early.
