I went to a bar with WiFi and update my resume
I've only had the misfortune once... in was actually in November too (few years back). First thing I did was file for unemployment benefits... then update my resume. :)

First thing? Laughed in my soon-to-be-ex boss's face until he was good and furious. Once I left the building I started swearing in a language last spoken by some nameless teutonic demigod as eldrich fire burst from my head, chasing away tourists (I work in Times Square) as the overwhelming smell of sulphur descended upon Broadway and 50th street. (Or maybe I just drank a whole lot of bourbon and read a bunch of crappy Forgotten Realms novels.) EDIT: This was last Thursday. I'm in Lame Duck land 'til next Friday. *twitch*

I swore a lot. Then I hit something. Then I swore a lot more. Then I got the job papers. Funnily enough, at no stage did I invite jokes.

You're a tough one, I had to get a thread going based on our interaction earlier

I never got laid off (working my first job for 7 + months), but if i know myself i'll probably watch Family Guy(or something similar) all night long (probably the day after). After that one good sleep and then look for a new job :)
Whatever you watch update your resume at the same time and apply like hell

Considering I lost my house over it, I know how bad it feels.

Which time? 1984, 1994, 2002, or 2009? :^) It gets easier with repetition. Update resume and online sites. Apply for unemployment (if applicable). Consider relocating (not to your mother's basement). Learn some new technology.

The environment where I worked was so toxic that I assumed I was being called into the office to be formally charged with sexual harrassment or some sort of hate crime. My fear was due in large part to the fact that we had a woman in our office that could claim anything about anyone and subsequently torpedo their careers. She'd been doing this for years. When I saw that I was only being laid off I had to concentrate hard to not smile while the HR person droned on about various incidental bits of nonsense. I was given 6 weeks pay and a relatively graceful exit. Walking across the parking lot that day is something I'll never forget. Don't remember the last time I felt that alive and happy. My first task was to write a letter to the company noting that I was told by management that I'd be guaranteed continued employment if I put in 40 hours of overtime during the previous month - which I did. They responded by cutting me another check for that time. It was a great summer.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat... Then took 3 months and partied and drank myself silly until my unemployment ran out. Then got another job. But that was like 25 years ago.
It was broke, so I fixed it.
