Laid Off Lex

Once upon a time, a young marketing professional moved to NYC to follow her dreams. 5 months later: company downsizing. These are my adventures in unemployment.

Who wants to guess how many times this file has crashed? #excel #autosave #agencylife

My alarm clock looked like this today and I still didn't get out of bed until 8:20. #backtowork #morningsunshine

You know you're really back @ work when this friendly message pops up on screen. #endoftheworld #crash #autosave #mac

People are virtually throwing tomatoes at this girl --> "Laid off? Congratulations!!" by @StrawberryTech on #LinkedIn http://t.co/1nQi93Txw5

Day 4 on the #job + the desk drawer #shoe collection has already begun. No clue where the bathroom is though. #newbie

@nyyankee2jeter as long as they'll have me!

First day back to work feels like the first day of school. #backatit #monday

My mother liked this card a little too much. #truestory #thanksmom

I imagine that was the #unemployment equivalent of an #AA meeting.

[Laid Off Lex @LaidOff]

If you thought #juryduty was bad, try MANDATORY orientation and job search assessment at NY #DOL.

Well at least now I can claim #DonDraper and I have had similar life experiences. #unemployed #onthebrightside @MadMen_AMC @TotalDraperMove

Heading back to NYC after 10 days of R&R...although some would (wrongfully) consider the past 8 weeks a #vacation. #backtothegrind

[Laid Off Lex @LaidOff]

We will continue with our regular programming upon return to NYC.

Loyal LOLers - please forgive my Twabsence lately. I've been on hiatus (by choice, not by pink slip).

[Laid Off Lex @LaidOff]

Fret not @hpark12591! The tweets will continue, the topic will just be a tad less depressing. #staytuned

[Laid Off Lex @LaidOff]

It took 6 weeks and 1 day, but I have an (NYC) offer on the table. (*Not forgetting @JCHeidi of course.) Things are looking up.

[Laid Off Lex @LaidOff]

Reaching the end of Week 6. Will next week be #LuckyNumber7?

[Laid Off Lex @LaidOff]

If I were laid off on #AprilFoolsDay, I probably would show up to work the next day. #jokesonyou #prank
