3 hours after getting my Rift shipping confirmation I find out that I'm getting laid off

What are the odds?  After waiting for months and checking emails every morning I finally had good news when I woke up; my card was charged.  I go into work all happy and I find out that I'm getting laid off after 16 years on the job.  

Sometimes shit happens for a reason but you got to stay positive.

Maybe it was due to all the slacking off at work checking your emails for your confirmation email from Oculus ?

Return it and get the Vive so you can play Job Simulator.

Sorry man,

All Rift jokes and drama put aside...I pray you and your family peace and that you have a smooth transition into another position with no impact on your current lifestyle.

My family will keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear that bro. Life can be a troll like that sometimes. Stay strong, you never know where this new path may lead.
