...and I'm freaking out a little. I don't do web design and everything out there is for a web designer. Does anyone just hire for print anymore?

Sorry to hear. You can do web design it's easy!

  Hey if i can do it, any print designer can. It's layout on a screen! He didn't say anything about coding.– HAYZ1LLLA2/2

you were there 3 years and they fired you for losing 1 client?
- can happen easily, if i lost AMD or Micorsoft for Y&R they would have probably had me killed.– moldero1/4
  right, i guess it depends on who the client was and how influential($$) they are to your business– lvl_132/4
  and how influential you are so you could make them drop your agency– digdre3/4
  of course.– lvl_134/4

The story is far more interesting than your lack of web design knowledge. Please elaborate.

I've only been there 6-8 months. What I did wasn't design related. I was a "digital printer". We basically put together spec books for engineers, etc. Part f this job was shipping. I had mad some mistakes early on that I blame on lack of concentration. Shipping to the wrong person. Not shipping enough, things like that. They gave me a warning that one more mistake and I'm out. I understood. I improved my work ethic, etc. Then today I hear that one of the packages I sent arrived damaged. I thought it may be a FedEx issue but apparently not. It was the last straw according to my boss. So here I am not at all impressed with my portfolio and out of work with the rent due in a few days.

^ That's odd responsibility (shipping/packaging) for a design position.

Wasn't a design position. Design is what I do but I didn't do it here.

So wouldn't you rather do design? Maybe it's a sign that you should move on to better things.

Use this time to bring your portfolio up to date and improve your skills (web and other) and freelance until something permanent is available. You definitely can't pay the rent with worry and fear.
