I'm also a User Experience designer. I lost my job in early December and still can't manage to find anything.
I've registered for unemployment and am now looking into doing some blue collar labouring until something comes up.

I've been canned 5 times. Not laid off, but canned. After a while it becomes a rush.

I asked myself "Why start a new 'Laid Off' thread, seeing as how I was one of the other 6 guys in the room getting laid off with studderine.
studderine, I was thinking about it on the ride home, funny that R.V. didn't have the balls to lay us off himself, let alone give us the decency to do it one at a time, face-to-face. Oh well, honestly dude that says more about his character than it does yours or mine for being laid off. The way I'm looking at it now, they did us a favor by getting us out of that dump. Onto bigger and better things dude.
It was an amazing year watching little studderine morph into a UX genius who really knew his shit and could design with the best of em.
Good luck dude. We'll be in touch.

I guess the cat is out of the bag, the QBN legend Kona and I had the pleasure of working together.

Holy shit! Studderine AND kona!? What kind of asshole, blind, waffle eating cunts would let the two of you go?
Sorry to hear it, and I'll re-iterate: The talented people on QBN that have been laid off recently should be forming new firms to take over the ones that let them go.- ahhahaha asshole, blind, waffle eatung cunts? that is going into my vault of fucked up things tostudderine
- say.studderine
- Yeah. What, a month ago they were all about me and what I brought to the table, today...kona
- they didn't have the balls to sit me down and tell me face to face. it was done by committee.kona
- a sit-down would have been nice, "you were valuable and we dont want to do this", that would have helped a lot.studderine
- yeah. me... it took everything i had not to call ray out on it. for you... being your first real gig. yeah, fucking unreal.kona
