Same thing happened to me once. Worked for the state as a paralegal and the state dissolved all positions, so I found a job at a law office. I brought our receptionist with me. We lasted only a few weeks. The boss (who never spent one full day in that office, was always out fishing or biking or at a game) went out for a liquid lunch one day, came back and fired me, and pretty much everyone else in the office, including the attorney and paralegal that rented an office from him in the building. He just suddenly cleaned house one day.
It was easily one of the worst days of my life. I took it persnoally, while it really wasn't my fault at all. He even said that he liked me on a personal level, no problems with me, etc....but he had to do this for business reasons. Whatever.
Best of luck to you.
