1. Other
Be creative? Ok. Why don't you take a few weeks and do something absolutely wild and crazy that you've always dreamed of? Take lots of pics and write a blog. Just tossing ideas around... dreaming of what I'd like to do.

Sorry to hear you lost your job & hope you find an even better one. :hug:

2. Start an amateur porn site!
Seriously, that sucks. Take some time and regroup. No quick decisions.

4. Do something you've always wanted to do...
Write that book, start your dream business, do whatever it was you dreamed of doing when you were having a sucky day at your old job.

Good luck!
