After returning from a fabulous week-long vacation, I return to this.
Today, my boss laid me off.
I've been with her for 12 years. We're closing the business due to the shitty-ass economy. Our work has dropped off so much in the last year, that she hasn't even taken a paycheck all that time. Basically she's been paying me and not paying herself.
I feel horrible and I know I need to suck it up and get all my shit together for a brilliant portfolio and resumé. But I am so overwhelmed by this. I barely know where to start, since I haven't written a resumé in 12 years!!! GAH!
I am so nauseous and I hated telling Melissa this evening. She really really doesn't need this worry too, on top of her parent's health situation. I feel so bad for even having to say anything.
