You can talk about your problems here Steph no matter what size they are. It's enormously stressful to be suddenly confronted with job uncertainty when you are in the midst of a major life change, and marriage is wonderful, but it's a big life change.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I think "gibbering, roll-on-the-floor, frothing panic" would be my reaction of choice in your circumstances, Teppy.

That's pretty much it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah, Connie got that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Job stuff is big! Especially not knowing -- that's the kind of stuff that drives me insane. Once I know, I can figure out how to deal.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Teppy, what Dana said. Job uncertainty is right up there on the list of major life stressors and so is getting married. You have a lot going on. It makes sense that you'd be anxious.
I'm working at the library bookstore tonight. I'm actually here when it is open selling books to people, instead of just shelving when it is closed. Apparently I still have customer service skills. Who knew.

Job stuff is huge! And I've been laid off when I knew it was coming and it still was shocking and distressing and stressful!

I don't know if this helps but: since layoffs seem close to certain, you could get your resume in order if you have not already.If that is done you could start a job search. Depends on your personality. For some people taking action helps; for others it would only add to the stress and they are better off waiting until the layoff. You know better than I which type you are.
Also you need to decide on job search paramters. For example I gather hubbie-to-be's job is a good one, so you can't even consider offers outside commuting distance of his current job.

You are in a really good position to get hired somewhere else right away, Tep. Not that it makes it any less stressful or anything, but you've got a leg up on many other job seekers.
