Cover it up with pounds of ash

So... John got laid off from Microsoft.
It's... I have no idea what to say. I'm shocked. He was so thrilled about that game design job, he got that new house...
I don't know what to say. As scary as the economy is, I guess I never thought anyone in the family would get canned. He'll have to get new work immediately if he wants to keep his house, and--I wish we lived closer so we could help him out. I'm a little worried.

Might take a trip in a few months. We'll see.

In the meantime, could you fill this out?
1. Do I have a distinct style of drawing?
2. If so, what exactly is it that defines my "style"?
3. Would you say my art usually follows a 'theme'?
4. Is there anything I really need to improve on or change?
5. Does my style [if I have one] remind you of/look like the style of anyone else?
6. Judging from whatever art of mine that you've seen, what do you think I do the best at?
7. What do you think I suck at?
Skip what you can't answer, be anonymous, do whatever you need to do. I just want some honest critique.
dA account's back. Only putting up finished art/things I like, though, so there's no point in watching it if you watch this LJ.

If you don't hear much from me for a while it's because I'm too busy being stressed kdfjgh

Edit: Just found out that John's getting something like two months severance and is meeting with people tomorrow to find a new job, so. It's fine, guys. Right now I'm just stressed about things I have to work on adkjfgh too much stuff

*hug* I guess it really shows how much the economy sucks when Microsoft starts laying off, huh? Hopefully it'll get better soon, though.

I know, I really thought John's job would be safe. When I heard the news I couldn't believe it; I kept expecting it to be a mistake or something and John would call back in a few minutes and tell us he got it back. Nope.

Yeah, can't wait for this recession to be over. At least the economy will be stronger when it is, right?

I really hope so... I'm sick of this. I'm terrified I'm gonna go through all that bullshit to go to a good college and get a degree, etc, and then I won't be able to get a job.
