    I am so excited - I was laid off yesterday and got a new job today! I knew 6 months ago, it was time to move on and contacted an agency. I received a tip last week of an opening with another company from my supervisor (what a sweetheart) and got back in touch with the agency. I knew last week a lay off was becoming a reality. I got an interview within two days and hired today! Yeah - I get to keep up my stash building!

    Thank goodness I was! Many more are not as they were laid off last week and this. A major downsizing in the works.
