Well, shit.

Staying at work too late won't be a problem for a while. That's right, Lith has joined the ranks of the unemployed. It's not such a bad thing, though. I have plenty of savings, and I haven't taken more than a couple days off work in three years, so the prospect of not having to go for a while is quite nice. And man, do I ever have a shitload of projects to work on.

I want to go see my sister, for a start. I miss her.

Meanwhile, the intense geekery goes on as usual. The fumbling first steps of new fanpages for Hirasawa (oh man, he's so hot) and Berserk are up.

I ended up selling my 280, and bought a bigass van. Just in time to haul a bunch of prop skyscrapers home in it. I will miss that car. But not its suspension.

Sorry to hear about your job situation. I have no worries though, you are awesomely talented and will find work :)

Those skyscrapers are kick ass!


I assume no work means no Botcon for you? :( Who will I buy beer?!

Heyyyyyyyy, plenty of time to scan that Silverstreak pic, then! :)

Seriously, though, condolences and, I suppose, a w00t or two for you on your joblessness. I hope you find new work soon and hope you live the drifter life up as much as you can in the meantime!

;) I'm on it. I'll have time to organise all my papers & find stuff now.

And yeah, Fin, Susp, it was a downsize.. A couple other guys in the office went too.

We'll all see in a couple months whether I make the good I'm aiming for, out of this. ;)

WTF? Did they lay off a bunch of people, or was it one of those "We no longer require your skills" deals?

*hug*

[susp.livejournal.com]

Oh no. What happened?

And DAMN. You sold the 280? An era has ended. :(

Goddamnit, Lith, stop acting so happy-go-lucky! This is a serious situation! I mean, you're unemployed! Of course this could be a good opportunity for you to grow and start doing something really cool, and I'm sure you could do it because you're super-talented and all, but... but...

Sorry. I'm being too worried for no reason again, huh...? I apologize, but I just don't want anything bad to happen to a good friend like you and everything... you don't deserve that. But... I'm sure you'll be able to turn this into something good, eventually. I have confidence in you.

Meanwhile, though, I'll worry till I drop. Sorry... I can't help but worry. Pupp the worrywart. See, that's the bad part of me having friends. I worry more about them than I worry about myself.

Talk to you in a couple hours, 'kay?

Eeep, sorry to hear about the job-loss! I hope you can make good use of this "vacation", though.

Good luck with eventual employment (hopefully one that'll give you more than a few days off in three years)!

Well....

[eternal-chimera.livejournal.com]

Congrats on your outlook, and on your new path. I am sure you will find something soon.

Much luck!

Lith, you got this midlife crisis thing all wrong. You're supposed to quit the job, sell the minivan and buy a sports car; not sell the car, buy a van and then get fired.

It's not so bad... I've been out of meaningful work for m ore than a year and I had no savings at all! And it's a nice time of year to be out of work...The weather is pleasant...the dogwoods are blooming... It doesn't cost a thing to romp in the woods and I've got all day to do it! (I go on about that for awhile on my own LJ so I'll spare you more of the same...)

[miss-lithi.livejournal.com]

Damn, sorry to hear about the job. If I recall, your boyfriend works at the same place, right? Did he manage to escape the ax?

At least you have some savings to fall back on. Hope you find another form of (enjoyable) employment soon.

[slayersyrena.livejournal.com]

What the heck happened? I know you'd work till the wee hours for those kats...

[swifteagle.livejournal.com]

Gosh, sorry to hear it, Lith. But you've certainly got the skillz to land something even better. Good hunting!

EEE! Looky!!!

[bane-6.livejournal.com]

SKYE! Lookylooky! (you might already know about this, but I just heard and am all excited..)
