#unemployed again #a better job that pays more might be on the table though we'll see #dont work with children because you WONT live out your miss honey dreams #you definitely will get bullied by an 8 year old misogynistic boy with a bad haircut though #i did get him kicked out and banned from the entire building though 😝

Whelp. I just got suddenly laid off today. To most of my coworker’s shock, including my immediate managers who said we are short staffed and need me. But the official story is that they want to downsize due to the recession and I guess it’s cheaper to hire contractors than to keep in house artists. So I guess that’s that. Literally I have until tomorrow to say my goodbyes and pull any work I can for my portfolio as quickly as possible and then they’ll kick me off of all their networks. But because I work remotely I’ll still until sometime next month to give them back their equipment so there’s that.

Of course my initial feels is that I am very sad. I quite liked my company and my coworkers and the work that I was doing so it’s always tough to leave suddenly. Financially yeah. I might be worried but it’s not as bad as it was the last time I was laid off. Their severence (in theory?) is a little better than my last place, and I still have patreon so I won’t be completely bereft of income. For anyone who ever complains “why doesn’t raindrops update” well it usually updates and coincides when I am unemployed and have lots of time lol. So guess what will probably get updated soon.

Mostly I just feel tired because of course all the unemployment paperwork is coming and applying for unemployment as well as trying to go through and update my portfolio is just a lot of work. Finding a new job is a lot of work. I remembered it being a full time job in and of itself. Also hey trying to insure myself now and pay for that. hm.

Well, my optimistic goal is if I have all the time to put into patreon and the comic is that hopefully I can start growing patreon again and if I can get my income from there to be livable I would not have to go back to working for corporate overlords at all. But man, insurance sure was nice. Anyway, that’s an unexpected end to my week.

Turns out the horror of Halloween is unemployment lol. I’m kidding. I’ll be okay I think.
