Black Tuesday

I got news that yesterday the entire department (or very nearly) of Creative Services-- where I used to work--got laid off. It just makes me sick to my stomach. All of my friends and associates, except for a handful, are now gone. It's awful. I found out today that 40 of the 60 employees on that floor were laid off. It seems senseless to me. Hopefully all those people will move on to bigger and better things. I really feel for the 5 designers, 2 prepress people, and two production people that are left. What kind of nightmare they have been living through, and probably will be living through for the next little while.
