This Day I'm History

So after working for a "friend" for a year, the grand experiment ended swiftly today. He came to me and said "I gotta let you go. I can't afford you." Then he wanted to talk about how much I meant to him and what a great job I did for the company etc etc. He kept talking about how hard it was going to be without me and he had to do it and how much it was going to affect HIM and and and and ...
Note that at no point did he mention how it would affect me. I hate being over 50 and again unemployed... again. Fuck!
I'm hurt, embarrassed and pissed.
This really sucks. I gave this guy everything I had including answering the phones 24/7 the entire time except for a week or two. I put in 50-60 hours a week even though I was paid a salary.
Lastly there was no warning. He just let me go without any discussion, warning... nothing. Dick.
