Luckily I have a friend who works for the unemployment office, so I went back to my desk after getting the news and IM'd him immediately. He's already on top of things and will hopefully be able to help out.

What kind of work were you in?

Thanks. We worked for a company that processed county clerk and court clerk records, among other things. We were imaging specialists, handling the QC of the records that were scanned and prepping them for indexing and archiving.

I assume you both worked at the same company? Or was it some sort of crazy unlikely coincidence?

Same company. We actually sat within a few feet of each other. Eight people total got the boot.

Maybe this is your sign to pack up your crap and head south?

We JUST bought a house and have no plans of moving, but there ain't ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- around here, so who knows....

Thanks, man. We're being pretty positive about it. At least the severance package includes 10 weeks of pay (for each of us), due to how long we worked there. That'll help. :)

I've been there and it does suck. It does get better though. Hang in there.

At least now I have time to work on my pathetically low gamer score (in-between filling out applications and interviews, of course). ;D
Fun fact:
We share a car, because we both worked at the same place with the same hours.
Dammit.

Oh, and they canceled Terriers on FX today. What a ---smurfy--- day.
