Lost an account recently too - http://www.qbn.com/topics/670484… Today is a new day, so full of opportunity, more than yesterday was.
Think about it, were you happy doing the shipping job? Ever? I'd dread going to work everyday being a designer and having to spend most of my role working with shipping.
Be happy. Now. Update that resume and your skillz.
I know I'm making it sound too easy - but it's really that easy. Decide that it is and start moving forward. The sooner you do the sooner your new path can start progressing. I remember a story of some head of some country's daughter was tragically killed, and the next day he arrived at an official event when everyone thought he'd be on his way back home to his country and when asked why he was still there he said (I can't really remember it verbatim but it went kinda like this): "I could have gone into a dark pit where I could ask questions like why her? why my family? why me? I could seek revenge on the people that did this. But I saw nothing good coming from that . . . Well, after alot of thought I knew eventually one day I'd have to accept what has happened . . . I decided that day is today, and am moving forward."
Be happy designing somewhere else. "It's only when we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." (you are not your khakis)

I dunno, your portfolio isn't very inspired.

I mean:
Your type skills and craft need some work. Maybe it's okay for Memphis though.

Bigbaby, about not having web experience, there is a ton of articles on transitioning from print to web. If you go to a bookstore and check out the design mags, there is probably someone with an article right now on this subject.

I was listening to an interview with Wes Anderson today on NPR. He got into telling a story about how he was fired from one of his first jobs working for his father. He admitted it was for laziness. The interviewer could believe how such a detailed film directed could be fired for simple laziness. His response... "my heart just wasn't into it."

Don't focus on web anyway. Make yourself a digital publication god and go that route. Everyone wants that specialist nowadays.
