I was informed today that due to a sudden lack of work, I wouldn't be needed at my freelance job next week, and for the foreseeable future (hurricane aftermath and all. FU Sandy!).

It was a corporate decision to pick off the low-hanging fruit, to save whatever miniscule money they can in the wake of the disaster (Really? FU corporate decision makers, too).

But...it was nice that folks there were very pissed off about the prospect of not having me around. At least I was wanted, dammit!

And it was a far commute, so it's kind of a relief not to have to travel all the way out there now.

I just have to keep my fingers crossed, and hope I either find other employment quickly, or qualify for unemployment...
