It's pretty rough everywhere, and I'm not so sure about NOVA either, I have many friends down there, almost all of whom have been laid off from all sorts of jobs in the past 2 months...just hunker down and eat lots of pasta, but hope you find something good soon! I was laid off 15 days after I bought my Type R, fortunately unemployment in PA is pretty sweet, and I got some temp work that pays the bills for a while...but it's slim pickins. Oh well, more time to drive the Type R!

Dont sweat it man. There's more work out there. I was ****-canned from a $45k a year job in March of this year for no apparent reason. On a given Monday at 5pm my manager called me into her office and tells me "I have to let you go." Dumbfounded, I replied "you're joking"! She said no, these orders came straight from the top.

Turns out I got blamed for a major goof-up that some **** bitch made (she had seniority on me, and was a lesbian man-hater). And then blamed it on me. I was shattered when it happened. But I now have a better job, making more $ and less headaches, plus my side business which has always been cars.

Dude, don't sweat it. I just got laid off yesterday myself. Fortunately I got a nice severence package. Just look at it as an opportunity to take all that experience you accrued and put it down on your resume. You'll usually end up getting a much better job! Good luck.
