Josh, I love your Puerto Rico story. What cool timing.

Joe, I don’t think you’re alone in digging into the fifth of Jack. My Jack equivalent was a carton of ice cream (with colorful sprinkles because my friend thought they would cheer me up) and a bottle of wine. Don’t know if it was the sugar, the wine, the job loss or just good timing but I decided to break up with my boyfriend that night, too. Huge emotional hangover the next day and it gives me something to laugh about now.

I’m lucky that a previously-planned trip to Puerto Rico coincided with my layoff. Was one of the best long weekends I had had in a while. Sure, it was on my mind but I’m very glad I got completely out of town.

Granted – I did dive in to a slew of interviews but looking back, I’m sure it was pretty obvious that I wasn’t really ready. I agree with Jean that you really do have to go through all the stages of grief to become yourself again. I underestimated it… now I get it.

Also, don’t go home and drink a fifth of Jack Daniels. That’s what I did. Big mistake. Went in to work the next day to get my boxes and was just a drunken emotional wreck.

Embarassing.
