Oh my goodness- I can't believe you got laid off!
I hope you got some sort of severance package or something!

This is a sign... you need to do something else (and you know what I'm talking about!)

Oh my! I'm so sorry.

Don't wait to file for unemployment. And if you want to take advantage of any local funds available for training, go for it.

If you need any help with resumes, ideas, let me know.

I am soo sorry hon....

I hope something else turns up really soon... I just read today that there is no one field that is safe from all of this.... sad...

I wish that Washington wakes up and sees what's going on...

Geez. Everytime I turn around someone is losing a job. My friend just lost his job. They closed an office of 200 people just like that two weeks ago. Im so sorry. I hope you find something you enjoy doing quickly.
