So my employer laid off almost the entire office on Monday, me included. I can support myself on my savings for quite a while if I'm careful, and I do have a little severance coming my way, but ack. Now I have to find a new job. I don't know if you've heard, but there's some concern that the job market is a little underwhelming at the moment.
What's great, though, is having my family try to help and revealing how little they know about what it was that I was doing. My grandpa, for instance, just sent me a link to a security agency - so I could be a security guard. Like, flashlight, taser, etc. Really, uh, really not my thing.
I'm at the age where I want to take jobs that roughly follow my career path, rather than pay the bills for a little while. Maybe I'm being dumb to act picky in an economy like this. Guess we'll find out soon!

We just moved from a house (not much equity, but some) to an apartment in a different city. We are still working to sell the house. It's not looking promising. Financially it was a very foolish decision, and I'm sure the worst is yet to come if we can't sell. But money isn't everything. This was our window, and I am so, so glad to have left our previous city behind.
