Dammit. Just worked 70 hours last week to get a software release out the door well and on time... and as soon as I was done, the ---smurfs--- laid me off.
I hate everything.

I can empathize. My job is being "discontinued" as of December 31, 2005, but I consider myself lucky because it could have been sudden like yours was. Sucks, dude. But you'll land on your feet! Best of luck to you.

This happened to me, they just showed me how much I'm appreciated ???
Crazy Cooter:
Hello unemployment. ;) Enjoy the time off, I wish I had more time between the last job and the one I'm at now. I only had two weeks. I didn't even get to do anything fun.
If I were laid off right now I'd:
Go snowboarding (if I was off the crutches)
Build/Finish a cab/cp
Learn Linux (you may already know it)
Write a FE (with controls.dat support)
Sleep in until noon
Trace some graphics with Illustrator
Rake/clean the yard (snow is on the way)
Clean the garage/cover the mowers/prep the snowblower
Hit the bar with a crisp $100 bill and a designated driver
I'm sure there's a LOT of other ideas. Take the rest of the week off and start looking for work Sunday. Until the first interview, quit shaving. I do it every winter just to bug the misses. I stop getting my hair cut around august too. Just another grizzley adams mullet winter over here. 8)
btw, I've noticed more and more companies moving towards the "thanks, now leave" methodology. At least they didn't have you train in a replacement. The guy that trained me in got the boot. :-\
