My very kind and astute intern just sent me Lemonade, an inspirational short film about being laid off. It pretty much sums up what Jake thinks about his new opportunity.

Oh no!
That sucks bigtime.
But way to make a good time out of it :)
Off to check the links...
Lucky!! My husband is super jealous (of both the mohawk and the opportunity). I hope it works out a million times better than you even hope it will!
Abby, he hated his job, so this isn't entirely bad. The scariest part was that our health insurance was through his job. Aside from that we had been taking seriously about him joining me or being able to write full time. There's a lot of potential now :)
Besty, so funny you say that. Some of our other friends are jealous too :)
I understand my biz is a two person opp now too. My sign. other is helping me out until he finds something else. Way to have a sense of humor about it.
Big changes bring new opportunities. Good luck.
I just know it's going to be all lemonade and no lemons. can't wait to see just what that looks like for you two! xo
You know I think the world of the two of you. All the best, always.
wow. I remembered that Jake was less than thrilled with his job, but wow.
...So, he's working for you now ;)
At least it's spring, not the dead of winter...
Here's to you both, cheers! I know that you Very Clever people will turn this into a great opportunity...
xo, kate
I AM JEALOUS!!! everything will work out, for real, it is a good thing.
Ugh. That sucks - I also get my benefits through my husband so that I can work freelance and create artwork. But I hope it's just the universe moving Jake toward the work he really wants to do. Good luck and hoping all will be better soon.
That's lame. But at the same time....awesome. I'm telling you -- a husband/wife letterpress company is the way to go!
That mohawk was a good idea. glad you liked the movie. :-)
Well if the A-Team ever comes back Jake can audition for Mr. T:)
Sorry to hear the news, but I know two talented people will make the most out of the situation.
I love the potential of you two teaming up full time together : ) ... and the mohawk is awesome!!!!
Wow, thanks for all of the support everyone. I'll surely keep you posted on what happens next.
omg. but hey, getting laid off is good. happened to me in jan. woop woop!
Sadly, I think getting laid off is becoming a popular story. It happened to my husband last June. He hated his job, too, but it was still a shocking blow. As a result of his being laid off, we moved from Toronto to Lunenburg, NS—a life dream. My husband is going to school for Heritage Carpentry, which he loves. And I've started to finally get ready to do my own letterpress work. I loved the link to the movie and the idea of new opportunities. It sounds to me like you guys have it pretty well figured out. And like so many others, this will probably turn out to be one of the best things that ever happens to you. All the best.
