Lost my job, triggered Oneitis

You're one step closer to dependence, the least attractive quality of all time. Quit bitching about it. Job's gone. Hit the gym today. Your new job is to get a job. The only thing worth doing.

yup. gym, find new job. put on some nice clothes, start canvasing. maybe there's a competitor in town, just walk in the door, tell them what you do and what you can do for them. when they ask what happened at old place, just say downsized.

also, to everyone here, i always recommend making a habit of keeping your thumb on the pulse of the job market. what other companies are successfully doing your line of work, who are the contacts, etc. always know where you go to first if you had to start looking for a job tomorrow. even when you like your job, and feel secure, and don't want to find a new job. it's for situations just like OP's that you need to have some form of readiness.
