Thanks For The Layoff

BusinessWeek ran an essay from a woman who was laid off just before Christmas last year where she takes an attitude different than what you see most of the time:

“This layoff may be one of the best things that has ever happened to me…It saved me a fortune on child care and the kids will forever remember it as the year we spent three days building the best gingerbread house ever….John, while severance would have been really nice, the gift that you gave me was an abundance of quiet, contemplative time to decide what to do with my life.
