For those of you who didn't know, I lost my job to outsourcing and my last day of work was the day before I left for Vividcon. Upon my return, I applied for unemployment and I just got the letter stating what my benefit will be. The wonderful part of that is that it is More Than Anticipated!! *whew* It still isn't as much as I was making, of course, but I think I'll be able to get by. By the skin of my teeth, mind you, and possibly with a little help from my friends, but yes.
