Work

So yesterday there was an "emergency" meeting called at the last minute. The leaders called this meeting to say that our company had lost the re-bid for a new contract to another company. So what does this mean? Worst case scenario, I'll be out of a job in 6 months. Best case?....get hired on with the new company.
I don't know how to feel...on one hand it does suck, given that the job market isn't that great. But on the other hand, I don't mind. It's a chance for me to seriously take a look at my "professional" life and figure out what I want to do. Do I want to stay in the IT industry? Do I want to go into management? Maybe my own business?
For years I've been talking about wanting another job/career. I've talked about wanting to get out of this area and move someplace else. Perhaps this is that opportunity...sort of like a baby eagle getting shoved out of the nest in order to learn to fly. Maybe this is me getting shoved out of the nest.
