The real dude would either say "F*ck it man, lets go bowling" or "This aggression will not stand, man!!!"


Either way, sorry about the lay off.

It's so common nowadays that I expect it to happen to me anyday. It sucks but that's life. Are you in the IT sector?

Best of luck finding yourself a new position.

Isn't the metroplex still growing as far as jobs go? I'm sure you won't have a problem finding another position. :)
