That blows man. You deserve better. We all do. Do what you can to keep your spirits strong. Go spoil yourself in some way today.

Sorry to hear, it, tofu. Maybe you can post what you're looking for, jobwise, and people here will keep their ear to the ground for you.

And Dean's right, you should treat yourself to something, but remember that you can be ridiculously sensible and still have fun. Go to the dollar store and get a bag of plastic dinosaurs. ;p

And Happy Birfday.

My condolences and appropriate birthday greetings.

On one of my birthdays (early 20s I think) I spent the whole freaking day in hospital with my girlfriends kid sat in the waiting room being incredibly jealous and selfishly worrying about my ice cream cake with the yummy cookie crunchy bits in in.
All she had was a minor ear infection for fucks sake!
What about my cake!!! :x ...sat there on it's own... melting... while I watch crap hospital telly reading Heat and risking old person disease....

stop by the store this week. I will leave something upfront that should cheer you up.

You are not alone, lots of people are getting laid off in the bay area. Try to stay positive.

On my 28th, I had to work at my dead-end music store job (10:00am-6:00pm) then I had to come back for mandatory inventory (8:00pm-2:00am)
Sorry to hear about your employment situation...here's to new opportunities!
Seriously, get yerself a little pampering, & Happy Birthday.

Oh no! That's terrible! I say ride those unemployment checks for all you can... When my wife's company shut their doors, those checks really helped.

Really sorry to hear that. My advice - don't worry about it tonight; have a good time instead. At least you have the pleasure of living in SF, regardless of the job situation.

Hell yeah, you've been paying into it all along so get your payback. Use the downtime to live a little. I used to get psyched whenever I'd get fired.
