The recession eated meh
It seems fitting don't you think,
to dress the ground in white and grey

Yesterday afternoon I got the unfortunate news that I am to be layed off soon as the company is in a financial crisis. They told me the developer position wasn't the only one on the chopping board so I suppose I shouldn't be paranoid that its some other reason.

I still have one freelance client currently running, so I can claim to be working part-time after I leave if no web developer or web designer places turn up. Frankly, the prospect of finding work right now looks rough, but I'm no longer a n00b out of uni, I have a lot of industry experience on my side and I will work this out somehow.

Pro's:

-Lots of time to devote to freelance work

-Personal time and space to de-stress

-Time to devote to reading, writing, music, and so on

Con's:

-ZOMG where am I going to find a job at this time?!

-Much less income (although I reckon I'll bring it up significantly with freelance work

-If I don't find anything in a few months, the prospects of finding work look dim

I went into town to pay for my new place lunchtime yesterday, but I couldn't because they need me to come back Saturday. Did the Fates save me from buying a place hours before being told this?
