    I was starting to hate working there, but it's still a drag. I'm hoping to do some sort of free-lance technical writing, in particular writing accounting procedures.

    If any of you have any advice, wisdom etc, I would love to hear it.

    I am sorry. Hope the free lance stuff works out, but I know that is not the same as far as benefits go. My husband's business has been slow and I don't mean to sound corny but a positive attitude really does help and it makes life bearable in the meantime. Just when we think it has been a horrible week something turns up. I tell everyone I know about the business he is in and am constantly surprised who ends up being good customers. So put the word out and be positive!

    My sympathies to you. I was layed off my job a while ago. I also was ready for a change. It turned out to be a good thing for me. But even so, it was painful when it happened.

    I took the opportunity to go back to school. Very healing for me, since I was able to get the degree the WT discuraged me from getting when I was younger. Now I'm looking for a job in a whole new field! I highly recommend doing it if you can.

    Well it always sucks to be the dumpee and not the dumper...

    Headhunters can be great!

    Here is hoping the next gig has better pay and benefits!

    Well it's all YOUR fault just ask the republicans!

    Keep your chin up, you'll get a better job soon! I'm talking to myself (praying) in your behalf!

    my advice is to start making plans and back up plans immediately. make a to do list every day

    that moves you towards your goal. part of that may be finding a temporary job of some sort

    that allows you to keep working towards your eventual goal. do not let time pass. inertia will

    set in. keep your mind active on your pursuit.
