[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 21807, member: 9"] Piperthree, I think there is a silver lining. It forced me to get off my rear and start looking. The company has been struggling for a long time. SueC, I found a website that has legit secratarial type jobs you can do from home. I can send it to you if you want to PM me with your email address. Lothlorien, I am looking forward to spending more time with difficult child. I'll have more time to get more involved in her school and be there when she leaves and gets home. I am happy about that. kris, Yes, they have been in trouble for a while. Dazedandconfused, I knew it was coming. I've known for a while. I had started looking but not very hard. Guess it's time. You were fortunate. Esther, It was a shock. I don't know why... guess I kept hoping it wouldn't happen. It will be weird being home all day. rejectedmom, I wish there was a way not to be in the rat race and still make a decent living. [img]:hammer:[/img] witzend, They gave me 2 months severence plus I will be getting a check for what they would have paid into my benefits... it will come out to about 3 or 4 months total. I applied for unemployment online on Friday. It's not much but it's something. I'm ok for a few months at least. busywend, Weird thing is in a way I am kind of happy. We have all been on pins and needles at work for months now. Kind of a relief to have it over with. Suz, I have all kinds of ideas working. We'll see how many I follow through with. [img]:wink:[/img] I'm going to start selling some things on Ebay and see how that goes for the mean time. I want to start painting again and get some house projects finished that I kept making excuses for not doing. [img]:smile:[/img] Steph [/QUOTE]
