On the road again...
My job was in a current state of semi-limbo. I'd been sent off on an unpaid vacation. I was wrong to think I was safe from the layoff monster because I had skills that a paying project needed but nope.
Well, a week after my forced vacation started, I got the call. There's not enough money to go around so a lot of people just got laid off, including myself. Time to start looking for a new job. I spent almost 1 and a half years at the company, which is the longest history of being in one place in my career so far.
Feelings are mixed on this. I really loved the company when I started but then something changed.
Where to go from here? I don't know if I could ever work for any casual game developers local to me. One of my former company's clients is hiring. They were difficult to work with and I doubt my sanity could survive that sort of thing on a day in day out.
We'll see.

however, with your skills and dedication I'm pretty sure you won't have big problems finding a new gig.
Best of luck!!!
PS: don't work anywhere where you can foresee going insane already before you even started working there.
Long time no see! Oh no, I will NOT work at that horrid publisher I mentioned. One of their designers came to my company and told stories of shouting matches, throwing things, behavior you thought people grew out of around age 2? 3?
I've got a year and a half of experience, an awesome set of references and a few leads already. I hope things are going well for you!
