of the unemployed soon.

got my notice a few weeks back, i'll be laid off as of 12/31, so starting my job search now.

we're already down from 4500 employees early last yr to 2800 currently, co. is letting alot of people go over 1k within the next 3-4 mos

next door neighbor works at same co, his last day is 12/24

merry F-in X-mas.

sucky is that he's the sole breadwinner, and makes 6-figures.

luckily for us Z has a good job and we'll keep our heads above water, but it sucks nonetheless.

we're debating on whether Z should concentrate on school and take all the classes next semester (3 more classes till she finishes her masters) or work an extra days or 2 a week and take 1 or 2 classes and finish in the fall

we'll be taking april outta daycare as no need if i'm at the house.

heck i gotta make $15+/hr (after taxes) just to clear daycare and unemployment.

first time i've ever been unemployed, and engineering looks pretty bleak, 8 job titles for my type of work in TX and really only 2 of those apply on monster.com

for pauldn, we're still debating on keeping the cleaning lady.......

we're not that desperate yet........lol
