My check-in went well again today. I'm soooooo close to 200 at McConnell, I think it'll only be another week before I'm looking up at 200 instead of down.
In other news, today was a very bad day at work. Major layoffs, at least in my department. The QA group was gutted. Nine of 15 people lost their jobs. I was spared, but under very odd circumstances. My project ended a couple of months ago, and since then, I've been filling in here and there. Today, I was told that I will be taking over the responsibilities of one of the people let go. The person who left is an expert, and I've never before laid eyes on the project. I'm having a major case of survivor's guilt.

I don't know whether to offer my congratulations or condolences. Surviving a layoff is always a hard thing for everyone. Because typically now there is more work to be done then people to do it. You will need to prioritize the things and then get done what you can and not worry about the rest.
Even if the layoffs were completely out of the blue, you should probably take a good look at where the company and/or your division is heading. You should try and determine what the long term outlook is. Then decide what you need to do. It is always better to be looking for a job when you have one. But hey you already know this stuff.
So congrats on getting to 200 mark, and keep up the good work.
