OOohh, I'm a bum now, GurleyGurl!
We need to form a club. Not cuz I was laid of, just "cuz".
But I WAS laid off from a job in 1992. After 10 years at that one job. It was the most heartbreaking thing ever in my life because I really identified with that job. I was in shock for a long time, and no one really seemed to understand. They offered me option to do Contract Labor, and I took it (better than nothing). Best thing that ever happened to me at that time.
