I'm in a bizarre laid-off-but-still-here limbo.
That happened to me in 2014. They gave us a month before leaving, and organized meetings on "how to file for unemployment" and "how to get your own health insurance". And, we were encouraged to use the rest of our time printing out resumes on the org's printers and job hunting on their computers/internet. Sure, we were supposed to be wrapping up our projects and stuff, but it was mostly a month where we got paid to job-hunt from the office. It still took me nine months to get my next permanent job, but that's partially because I took the opportunity to change careers.
I'm sorry about the car accident and replacement woes, Laura. I hope you find what you want quickly.
My great grandmother lived into her 90s, I was in college when she died, although most of the time I knew her she was suffering from Alzheimers. I was very lucky in that while she could never remember who I was, she always thought I was somebody she knew (her friend from school or something vague like that, I guess I looked about as old as she felt and I know I resembled her sister) and was glad to see me. My poor uncle also looked familiar to her but she often thought he was someone she was mad at for some reason.
Way to go, askye, I hope they can help
That's kind of neat, Calli.
I do feel more job security than usual right now, but it's because I have more than one person's worth of work to do which I do not so much enjoy. This whole needing to work for a living thing, I'm agin' it
So if I continue to spend about 2 hours a day cleaning out the spare bedroom, I should have it done in about 3 million years.
Tea:
Just got the word that there will be an early dismissal at ltc’s school tomorrow because there’s more snow coming.

Ugh! It's so fucking disruptive.
She hasn’t been in school since Thursday. She’s climbing the walls with too much energy, and my little extrovert needs her socialization. I feel bad for the teachers.
