Welcome to the Unemployed Club!

Last Wednesday seemed like any other day...I clocked in, I did my daily duties, and two minutes before clocking out the boss says " can I see you in my office for a moment. "    I have to admit I wasn't expecting it at that exact moment. I mean I did kind of see it coming though...I was starting to get less responsibilities, boss kept talking about "changes" that were going to happen very soon and when she asked me to take a test to see if I qualified to take over a big project and I failed, it was only obvious the Big Boot was coming.  I stepped into her office and the director of Human Resources was there. The next ten minutes were "Blah Blah Blah Blah, today was your last day here, here's your paycheck, good luck!"   And that was it.  2 years down the drain.  The following day I filed for unemployment and that was when I started to realize how many people have been getting laid off lately. So many friends and family have been losing their jobs but I guess it's just not something people are proud to talk about until you've become a part of the club.  One thing I am wondering though, is if the majority of those that have lost their jobs are simply relying on their unemployment check for as long as they can, or if they going on a job hunt the following day.  What are you doing?  Are you taking an easy vacation or going through a thousand interviews a day trying to snag-a-job right away like there's no tomorrow?
