this time of year. I got laid off today. Financial descision on my employer's part. Remind's me of a poem I saw one time.

"Money's tight,
Times are hard,
Here's your fucking Christmas card"

Really though, I can't say I'm all that upset, I had fun at the job, and I learned a lot. I think that in the long run it was a good experience, cause I don't feel like I wasted my time there. And in retrospect, nothing I could have done would have changed anything.

Sucks when that happens....something similar was told to me at my work last monday...salaries are frozen and people will be asked to work less time because they do not want to fire anyway...

I hope it will all be ok...

Man that sucks, but I'm sure that a talented guy, like you Acid, will not have any problems finding a new job.

Damn Acid, that's bad news, however i have one word which may help console you...

BEEFCAKE!!

But seriously, you seem like a pretty self - motivated person, so i don't think you'll have much of a problem getting a new job. GL!

what parsout said. And you'll probably find a much better job that you'll be even happier with.
