Oh Janie -- what a horror show. What an absolute horror show. My heart is with you........! Some years back I survived a 'night of the long knives....' in corporate America where 12 positions (all filled) were cut to seven positions and only five of us survived to fill the positions - two new people were sought out for the 'vacancies'.....we all worked in one building and were asked to go over to the other building to hear our future - ONE BY ONE. As we walked over we met our colleagues coming from their meetings -- as I went over I met two colleagues both of whom had been canned....I think I was about six months pregnant at the time.......

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

You have such artistic talent and such personal integrity -- you will do fine......I know it.
