I was walking across campus on my way back from class yesterday and ran into a colleague of mine whom I hadn't seen for a while. She told me she was heading to her "farewell lunch" because she'd been laid off.

She's a lovely person and her work is absolutely stellar. I am bummed beyond words, really.
