Just got let go, which isn't necessarily bad news...

When I got to work this morning, my boss called me aside, and after we talked for half an hour he regretfully gave me an invitation to the world.

No hard feelings on either side, I think -- basically, the short deadlines inherent in his shop conflicted with the medical trips I often must make with Rachal ... so he needs to find someone more dependable.

This frees up my time to find a job with more flexible scheduling, since he's giving me a week of severance pay on top of the vacation pay I'm legally due. If any of you folks hear of any graphic design jobs in the D/FW area, or any freelance art that needs doin', feel free to drop me a line. (I'd also be interested in any leads down towards San Antonio/Austin; Rachal's folks are nearby and have offered to put us up).

I'll post updates as they occur, but don't feel sorry for me yet. This could turn out to be a very useful development.
