Unemployed......

[Kamakiri]

I now join their ranks, after ten years at my job.

I was laid off at 9:30 yesterday morning. It's going to be interesting to see not only how the government can help me, but to see how easy or hard it is to survive, given that.

The one positive, though, is that I'll be able to spend more time around the boards, which I hadn't had ANY time to do, before. How I'm going to survive, now, is a big question though.

I go to the unemployment office on Tuesday, then to an employment center from there. I'll document my experiences here as my first time through the "system" since 1989 (was laid off and collected 26 weeks at around $52/wk back then).

It's going to be interesting for sure.....
