To just jump right into the information: I was laid off from the agency yesterday. They were as pleasant as they could be about it–gave me a few contacts at other places, some vacation pay as severance, and offered portfolio help. But still.
On the bright side, I have lots of fabric and yarn piled up, so I won’t have to buy more of that for a while; I can now go to the grocery store in the middle of the day; and Toby is really enjoying playing in the box that I used to take all the stuff from my desk home.
So let the search for a new job begin. If anyone reading this needs a freelance writer, let me know at karen(dot)kaminski(at)gmail(dot)com. I have some great skills–knitting skills, sewing skills, writing skills…
Just know that you are missed and that there are tons of people pulling for you. I will let you know if I hear of anything.
