Is it paranoia if someone really IS out to get you?

"Contracts have been issued, and due to concerns about balancing the 2009-10 budget, we are eliminating your position. Here's a check to pay you through June so that you can have time to search for employment." (mighty nice of him)

Of course, kick me again, but I offered (how stupid am I?) to sit down and turn stuff over. (But, FrontPage is being removed from my computer, I'll tell you that!)
