Dammit. Just worked 70 hours last week to get a software release out the door well and on time... and as soon as I was done, the <auto-censored> laid me off.
I hate everything.

Your in the wrong industry, way too many computer people out there. That means that most companies can and will treat them like dirt, knowing they will get 100 resumes for any open position.
I really suggest taking this opportunity to switch gears to an industry that would perhaps allow you to enjoy life, rather than sacrificing yourself for a paycheck.

What do you suggest Paige? I've been trying to come up with a career for a couple years now and have been stuck in a rut of dead end jobs...

Try working for Ford or GM. You can also look up IT jobs. Saint's in IT.
There are lots of openings for factory IT guys, all over. They have good bennies most of the time.
Even stores like walmart and meijer, and Sam's, costco all have vast systems that need IT to keep the inventory and payroll going. Full time people have pretty good bennies too. 10% off, etc.
Factories look for guys to assist the office staff in training, etc. Some of these jobs can be staff level.

Alas, in Massachusetts, if you want to live like a reasonable family, such jobs don't do it. The cost of living here is WAY TOO HIGH for that. If your family isn't making a combined $70k forget about owning even the crappiest little house.
DrewKaree, where are you?
Releasing the source code for this product wouldn't get you a damn thing since it requires $80,000 Oracle licenses. Besides, the product sucks and that's why the company didn't keep me.
