TRY to stay positive Cort! Been there, done that. It's rough, but that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger, remember? And obviously, it's not your time yet. Just another obstacle, as rough as it seems, the cutting back, nephew time, just everything all together will make you stronger than ever. I know it doesn't seem like it, but it IS true. I know 1st hand, also.
while i can't say that i know what it's like to be let go, i can tell you that there are plenty of high's and lows in the game of life and i feel like i'm coming off one of the lowest lows i've had in a long while. i'm making a whole thread about it (if you're interested) but it'll all start looking up before you know it. I don't wanna go all "religious" on ya, but i'm a firm believer that god won't throw anything at you that you can't handle. Just keep on truckin and you'll be just fine

Thanks, all ... I sure appreciate the support!
I'm sorry I haven't visited here lately, but it has been a hectic few weeks...
...job hunting/applying
...COBRA/continued health insurance
...transferring 401k into IRA
...projects I want to do
...tasks I have to do
...continuing my 36 sessions of Cardiac Rehab
...writing
...considering a "mini road trip"....
I've also attended a few workshops at our local library, including small businesses/non-profits & job search techniques/processes. I plan to attend a few more workshops, including a networking group.
Luckily, unemployment was authorized, but it'd be nice to be employed. I'm still in a daze & frustrated by recent events, particularly going from 4 straight years of stellar reviews to no longer having a job. I have a variety of experience as a CSR, Help Desk Specialist & Web Content Associate. I also have experience/training in radio, writing, editing, file organization, event creation/hosting. So, I'd love to get into radio or writing or marketing/advertising.
Meantime ... I've had some AWESOME "nephew time".
03/02/2012 [the anniversary of the Faith (Batavia IL) COB 1998 church sanctuary fire for which I was the Building Committee Chair], I took my nephew to the Hawthorne Hill Nature Center in the morning; we watched CARS in the afternoon.
03/09/2012, I took him to the HHNC & a fire station in the morning; we watched CARS 2 in the afternoon. PICS of this adventure:

As time allows, I hope to post a bit more in the coming weeks....
