This is your chance to reinvent your self.
Take what ever job you can get for the moment and build your work.

Sure it's painful, but in a just-rip-off-the-bandaid way.
You were not designing; which is what you wanted to do.
You were not concentrating; you can blame some of this on the fact that it was a menial job. But don't forget that this is what cost you the job.
Rent is due; nothing like financial obligations to make someone wake the fuck up, straighten up, and light a fire under one's ass.

A drink with mates sound cliche but it has always helped me in the past.

it's not the worst day of your life, it's the worst day of your life so far.

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.

"You got fired for screwing up an EA's job."
Count yourself lucky you aren't working for an ahole boss that puts logistical AE shit on designers. Onward and upward.

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

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

^ That's odd responsibility (shipping/packaging) for a design position.
- bigbaby530
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.

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