Job Security on the Central Coast

Wait Honey, they did what? They laid off your editor at the paper? Isn't that, like, the fiftieth person they've laid off in the past two years?
Ok, breathe out the bad vibes. The ones that say we will have to quit our jobs and move in with your Mom in Indiana.
Close your eyes and breathe in the good vibes. The ones that say, it'll be fine. Even if they lay you off. Even if the dog business is getting more expensive than profitable. Even if there are no other papers in our county. Even if we have $(large amount) thousand dollars in debt...
Ok, breathe out the bad vibes again...
