Hi ladytiger: I'm sorry to hear that your employer let you go. But, hopefully, in the end it will turn out to have been a good thing. Better opportunities are, hopefully, ahead. I'm retired at this point. So I no longer have to worry about seeking, or maintaining employment. And, all-in-all, I'm glad I am. Today's employment market is tough! It seems like you have to be able to do three jobs at once, & be willing to accept a pay rate that would be about half of what one job should actually offer. I don't envy those of you who are trying to make it in today's economy. So I wish you all the best as you begin seeking that next employment opportunity.
