Dood. Wait it out. Try not to eat your fingernails to the elbow in the meantime. Don't stop looking, but really. That's a hell of an incentive to suck it up for a little while longer. <em>Major Bedhead's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MajorBedhead/~3/240175459/wreck-on-highway.html' rel="nofollow">A Wreck On The Highway</a></em> 46 weeks of vacation and the health care thing?

They told me 1 week of severance/bene's for every year of service. Years of Service:13 End of day: 8 weeks of sev/ben's. Plus a contract that I wouldn't sue their pecuniary asses because I was over the 4-0 mark. Bitter much? Why yes, now that you mention it. But getting better and they couldn't have me back for all the money in the world. I also don't have candy dishes of Rolaids on my desk. It's all about integrity, baby. If you (as a company/boss) don't have it, I'm not buying in. Good luck with the 46 weeks. That's awesome! Ahem. They told me 1 week of severance/bene’s for every year of service.

Your like the man that has been given the fatal diagnosis that he has 6 months to live. Your waiting, killing time, yet your not going anywhere. You are a relic, a paid lady of the web/net/whatever it is that you provide there. Its great pay, and well, with corporate downturns in the present and future, a skill that you can use in marketing yourself. Hi, I am Hotfessional, an expert in corporate "right-sizing", I have endured at companies such as this, how can I help you? When I was in the oil business, and they were going through their blood letting in mid 80's to early 90's, I was laid off 4 times. The severance pay and benies grew smaller at each stop, We were a close knit community of people, and we would find ourselfs like rats in a harbor jumping from one burning ship to another, each one getting smaller and smaller. BTDT. So I left the industry, or did it leave me, but I was your age when I jumped onto this latest gig, and while I dont get paid as much, I also dont have candy dishes filled with rolaids on my desk! You'll do fine, its like this, you know that buttered toast always falls butter side down, and that cats always land on their feet, so your like a cat with buttered toast taped to its back, you will hover in endless limbo, never hitting the ground LOL Limbo is real life.
