Won't hug you ita. I'd punch somebody for you, but that is probably something you'd rather do yourself.

Shit. I'm sorry, ita.
This may be useless, since I haven't the faintest idea what you do besides "magic computery things," but my brother's company appears to be looking for a software engineer. They're out in Redlands, though. But I know they do telecommuting.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"References available on request" is a perfectly acceptable thing. And now you should go hit people.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What kind of severance are you getting, ita?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Well, crap. I'm sorry, ita. This is not a happy Monday Mystery Meeting.

I'm sorry to hear that, ita. Go forth and beat the shit out of the job market.
I can't think of a better way to say it, so Ima point at erika and say, "What she said!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the sympathy, guys.
I applied for one job, updated my resume on a couple sites, and have some homework to do for my recruiter.
Connie--2 weeks. What's kinda shocking is that that's the maximum standard severance at the company (not that I was paying any attention before). I'm sure the higher management might get golden parachutes, but there's some room between me and them, and two weeks isn't that much money.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, ita, that sucks royally. Good luck with the search.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
So sorry about this, ita. Good luck with the job search.
