A week ago my boss gave me a heads up that there was a good possibility of my getting laid off. It was an understandable thing, the company is slow, and there is less and less work for me to do.

Today, I got the final word that in two weeks, my position would be terminated. I figured she was gonna give me my two week notice about halfway through the month, not this soon...

At least I had a bit of warning, so I've already been tweaking my resume, looking, and applying for work... I even got a call back today for something I applied to last week, so I think I might fare well through this disruption... Time will tell though, and I'll be sure to keep y'all posted.

Given the lovely state of the economy I fear more of us may be going down the same path...hope it works out good for you.  Sign up for unemployment ASAP.  For what it's worth Minnesota actually has a decent jobs program available to anyone, lots of good listings even for proffesional levels.  Worth a shot.  Good Luck!

Thanks for all the well wishes!

Things are looking up already! I had a pre-interview this morning on the phone, and go in for a more formal interview with the location manager. Wish me luck!
