Getting laid off feels lousy. But on the upside, I don’t have to dread work tomorrow. Usually on Sunday evenings, I feel a spike of cortisol in anticipation of the coming work week. I’m checking my work calendar to see what meetings I have, making my task list, deciding if I need to commute into the office, etc.
Tomorrow I will sleep late and there’s no need to check the calendar. Like many of you, I have to pound the pavement and look for a new job. There’s work to do in updating my resume and searching the job boards, but I’m also going to make it a point to relax a bit and enjoy the down time. I hope you’re able to do the same.
