It's like Duran Duran...Bora Bora...or the dik-dik

"Second verse, same as the first."

For the second time in less than a year, I've gotten laid off. And the story is uncannily similar: agency loses a major client and "hard choices had to be made." Nobody feels good about it, but, well, there it is.

The whole thing is bookended. Last time, it was about a month before my kids and wife had to go back to school. This time, it's about a month from when they get out of school for the summer.

One big difference is my perspective on it. I'm motivated, but not frantic. And, as soon as I say that, I know that I should've gone back and read my blog posts from August/September. Because although I may've been trying to maintain a brave face back then, I wasn't feeling it.

We'll see what happens this time.
