Brad lost his job today.
He got a call to come to HR, and saw it coming and called me before he went.
He got a great package. Thats good.
But I still just got really pissed.
I know its all fair business and life.
But it still pisses me off.

I've been fired, and downsized several times now, and each time majorly sucked ass. I got emotional everytime. Its a real tough blow to the ego.
And having to look for a job and interviewing again is rough too.

I just feel so mad that he has to go through that.
I'd rather it be me than him.
I've had to do it so many times now I wish I could spare him from it.

He called me from the train station on his way home and when he got home.
He sounded good, somewhat upbeat.
But the big lug is probably laying it on thick like that so I dont get all upset like I do.

I want him to not rush things, take time for himself and do stuff he didn't have time for before. Visit family, his sisters new house. Go visit a friend of ours, Tom, that owns a farm and hang out on the farm for a couple of days, go to the museums we havent been to, like the science museum and Shedd aquarium.

I have to look into switching our benefits over to mine, we were both on his. I even started browsing jobs and emailing him some of them.

This is good news for Goliath though. Goli and his guy get to spend more time together. More attention and outside time. Maybe they will take naps and go swimming together.

It's just gonna be weird.
For 2 1/2 years Brad and I drive to the train station, ride the train to work, have lunch together and then take the train home to our car and the rest of the way home.
That's a lot of together time.
Too much for some people, but its been our routine for over 2 years now.

He's called me several times this afternoon, I am starting to do better.
I hope he isnt just putting on a front for me though.
