First 24 hours after Current TV laid me off

Since Monday I was discussing my promising future at Current with my manager I was more than a little shocked to be shown the door yesterday with some 30 others.

In the last 24 hours I've gone through a range of emotions, but mostly I'm happy to be outta there and I think I will soon be back in LA with good friends, good weather and good fortune.

Here's some of the press I've come across in the last day.
