The End of an Era

So, by now I'm pretty sure the word is out about Lipstick. I was laid off on Friday, and the March issue will be the magazine's last. As to what my plans are for the future -- I have no idea.

At someone's rather insistent suggestion, I'm reading What Color is Your Parachute for some guidance. While I've learned a lot working for start-ups in the past few years, the instability is starting to get to me. Then again, I'm not sure I'm meant for life in a big corporation either. Supposedly, this book is going to help with my dilemma. No surprise here, I'm skeptical, but I'm also hopeful. Yesterday, there was an NCIS marathon on. Today, in its absence, I'm starting to feel the abyss that is deciding what I want to do next.
