I'm sorry to hear about your job loss. My husband still has his but his pay has decreased so much it is now minimum wage. They don't talk about all those who are employed but fewer days/less income in all the statistics in the news. If it wasn't for health insurance, my hubby would go look for another job. COBRA would be just too expensive for us during the next job's probation period. We know because we had to pay for it last year when he got downsized out of the previous job. But, I ended up needing 2 surgeries in 08, so we were very glad we signed up for it. Just a reminder.... don't forget to arrange for health insurance!
Good luck on your current "job"; looking for a new job!
