A few of us were notified today that we would get a bonus for our work we did against the SeesmicAPI. How friggin cool is that. A job AND a bonus! FTW!!

So… I was made redundant from my company this past Friday. It happened during my yearly review. I actually got a weird feeling about it on Thursday when I was looking over my calendar for the next day. My review was setup for Friday at 4pm.. It just seemed like an odd time to me. End of day.. end of week.. Plus working in the mortgage industry, things have obviously been a bit slow lately.

I told one of the ladies that I work with, if there  are two people on the phone, I am getting laid off. Sure enough, my boss rang, said hello, then introduced someone from HR.

I jumped in, “Oh, I guess you are letting me go”

“So you were expecting this?”

“Two people on the phone, one of them being from HR”

So.. long story short.. I was let go. I have a ton of stuff to ship back to the office, but whaddayado, eh?

I posted a video on Seesmic, Friday saying I was available for hire. It led to talks this morning with Loic and Johann, and I am now officially a Seesmic employee. FTW!!

Suwheet!
