Out another job
Company got bought out, and killing the PA office was the first thing on their list. So I'm out another job. Given that I have very little monetary reserves this is going to get ugly real fast this time.
I suppose I should be happy that the job market is fairly good around here, I can add .NET programming to my skill list and I've got a lot of practice in looking for work. But somehow I don't

Didn't they give you severance?
That should help your reserves for a bit. If they didn't give it to you, you might want to talk to a lawyer. Because if they lay you off, I believe they are legally obligated to give you something.
Good luck,

Not much severance
I will get some severance but since I had worked there less then a year it won't be that much. Honestly I can't complain, since my boss cleared my vacation hours even though they could have docked me because they where still negative from my hospital stay.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll land something much better with the economy no longer in the dumper.
