Well, that was interesting.

Getting laid off again. They're keeping me on until February 3rd or so by mutual agreement, though I'm free to leave sooner if it works out better that way for me. I bought chocolate hazelnut espresso on the way home and I'm not going in to class tonight, I think. I can let myself have a sick day for this.

Woo hoo.

Aw man, that sucks. If I hear about any gigs, I'll let you know.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thanks. That's hugely appreciated.

[masqlab.livejournal.com]

Damn. Sorry to hear it.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. Me too.

[adamjury.livejournal.com]

Fuck! What the fuck do you need to do to catch a fucking break? Fuck!

[anaka.livejournal.com]

*hug*

[shellyinseattle.livejournal.com]

Doh! Sorry to hear that.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Me too. Thank you. :)

I would leave you a nice sympathetic and comforting message but the above swearing is more my style.
Same sentiment from me, less eloquence.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think you and Adam would get on well, frighteningly enough. :)

[patricks.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear this, Michelle. :(

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon.

[brannonb.livejournal.com]

EXPLETIVE!

[brannonb.livejournal.com]

Also, what happens to all the pie-in-the-sky stock options they promised you? Do they get to weasel out of giving you anything when they lay you off and later go public or sell the company?

[anaka.livejournal.com]

I haven't been here a year, so nothing's vested, so I can't do anything about it.

[elissa-carey.livejournal.com]

*hug* Enjoy the time off and use it toward classes, for now. Think of it as an opportunity to excel. Here's hoping you find amenable employment soon.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie.

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. Ick.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Maybe us unemployed ladies should do lunch sometime. :)

[effrenatus.livejournal.com]

What do you want to be doing right now? Let me know and I'll keep my eyes open. -mls

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Right now I'm doing a lot of web editing, writing, and general community management sorts of stuff. I don't quite have the tech background for a full web producer for most places, but that sort of thing would work well. Game stuff in general is always good, naturally.

[mysticalforest.livejournal.com]

String of expletives. :(

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Flamethrower Care Bear. *hug*

[michellew.livejournal.com]

Goddammit!

[anaka.livejournal.com]

With you there, definitely.

[trollbabe.livejournal.com]

Oh, fer fuck's sake! I'm sorry, lady. Good luck finding something new (and better!).

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie.

[daydreamweaver.livejournal.com]

That bites. *hugs*

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does. *hug*

[roninevil.livejournal.com]

Aw crap. Sorry to hear this!

Thanks, hon.

[berkanna.livejournal.com]

Damn. I'm sorry. *hug*

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thank you, hon. I appreciate it.

[ghostwind.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear the news. If I hear of any freelancing work, I'll let you know.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thank you, hon. That would be greatly appreciated.

[greyjoy.livejournal.com]

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: bucket of suck.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Indeed. No one would pull this shit with Elsabeta, I'll tell you that. :)

[metallian.livejournal.com]

Damn. :(

I'm sorry to hear about that, I hope something good comes your way soon.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Mike. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

[hachiman0.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry :( I hope you find something quickly.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

Thank you, hon. I'm working on it.
