Sorry to hear about your layoff. That's always difficult. I hope you're able to keep your spirits up as you're looking for a new job - it's so hard not to take it extremely personally.
I find it amusing how this Kaner invites himself along on other people's vacations. Does that really work for him?
I'm sorry about your job; the same thing happened to me a few years ago! Turns out it was for the best, although it didn't feel that way at the time. I really have been enjoying your story! Keep it coming!
Thanks y'all! I hope I find something better too. Good or bad, Kaner is definitely being left to his own devices in the coming chapters to figure it out....
