Hey All. I Lost My Job.

As the title says, I got laid off abruptly today and I'm kind of up shit Creek without a paddle... especially if that paddle were income.
There's good news and bad news I guess. The good news is I'll have a lot more time to devote to making content, be it articles, podcasts, or whatever. The bad news is.... I can't pay rent I guess?
Not really sure why I'm posting this. I guess I just needed somewhere to offload the stress and an ear (digital or otherwise) to speak to. If you read this, thanks for your time.
You da real MVP.
If you live in a fairly urban area, try looking at hiring agencies. My experience with them where I live has been pretty good and they make the job market a lot less scary. You can gain opportunities and experience you may never get by yourself otherwise.
Wish you well sir! Make the most of the time and spend it searching for new work and spending time with the people you care the most about.

I'm not sure if this helps or not, but if it is not to personal you could discuss skill you may have or what your previous job was. Maybe someone could point you in the right direction for finding a new job. There are a lot of great people on this site from all over.
Best of luck,
Also I just found out about your podcast, cool stuff.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and wishes and more! I've calmed down and cheered up quite a bit since the day this happened. It's kind of like an unexpected breakup - you are left feeling sad, betrayed, and worthless. That said, I don't feel that way anymore and I've been looking for more work. This is a setback certainly, but I hope it paves the way for more and better things in my life in the future.
Now, about the podcast, we SHOULD be recording the next one tomorrow! While this really isn't any longer of a time between eps as it has ever been, I hope nobody assumed we'd slack off!
