From the movie theater? I might be remembering your job wrong...

I hope you went out in an epic blaze of glory. And that you get a new job soon. We have all been let go in one way or another at some point. It usually works out for the best.

Being laid off typically means losing your job due to downsizing, restructuring, bad economy etc, your job might be available again in the future but don't count on it.

Being fired usually means you screwed up so bad they told you to go home and not come back.

Sorry about that man. About a year back I was fired from my job, which was a position that I had worked extremely hard to get and was basically my entire future. I even relocated my wife and kids to a rural area in another state for that job. Three months after getting hired, I was told to clean out my desk and I was escorted out of the building.

It was my fault. I worked so hard to get that job, and it was nothing like I had been hoping. I hated going to work. The third time I came in late, I was fired on the spot. I shook hands, said thanks for the experience, and got out of there. I ended up finding a dream job in my field three months later, and I haven't looked back. It pays double the salary that I was making at my old job.

My only advice is to take a couple days to have freedom and celebrate not having to go to work, and then spend 6-8 hours a day submitting job applications online and searching for openings. You'll find something. I went from being unemployed to employed in three weeks. Best of luck man!

It was about a year ago, but I remember it still being expensive. Traveling to different states for interviews was the worst, and nearly drained all my emergency savings.

Hearthstone is pretty awesome, and I've never put a penny into the game. The only TCG experience I've had is with Pokemon from a few years ago, and a little of Magic with the PS3 game.
