One less thing to worry about

One door closes, another door opens.

A former co-worker of mine was recently laid off when the company I work for merged into a bigger company a week ago. (Sound familiar?) She was devasted as you might expect. With a new baby, a new home (and mortgage) and a new car, losing her job meant incredible pressures and worries.

Until Saturday night, that is.

It turned out that her father had bought a lottery ticket, and yes, you guessed: he won. Her family will now have to figure out what to do with their $30 million once taxes are whacked out. We'd all love to have this kind of problem. But I hope they manage their newfound success well. Somehow, I doubt she'll miss the job she lost.
