Man, that DOES suck. I hate to hear stories like that. When things like that happen to me, I almost always think it was for some kind of reason.
A few years ago I was stoked about my interviews with a particular, big name, adult magazine. Their staff was cool, their projects were cool, and man was the atmosphere cool ;) - but I didn't get that job. 2 months later all of those same people I interviewed with were shown the door. Another job, with a company that I helped start. Felt like it was over with. Quit that job for about double the salary somewhere else. 6 months after I did that, the company I abandoned was bought out by a much larger company. Let's put it this way, had I stayed there and roughed it out, I would probably have a lot more time to sit here and shoot the breeze with you fellas (and gals ;) ). Hang in there man, something will come through.
