US Economy = Suck
I am now among the ranks of the unemployed. "How did such a thing happen?!" you ask. Quite simple actually. The other offices of my company aren't doing as well as our office, and our office had a customer stiff us for several thousand dollars worth of invoices, legally. Long story short: I didn't see this coming, but I wasn't surprised by it either. My only real concern is health insurance. After seeing how easy it was for Ben to go to the doctor and get antibiotics in England, I'm supremely jealous of the national health care system in the UK. If we lived there, I would only have to worry about things I could really afford, like my car payment and student loan payment and rent. COBRA, on the other hand, is something I need, but don't really know how we are going to pay the premiums. I suppose all I can really do at the moment is put my resume out there and hope to find something that I enjoy doing every day. I'm actually grateful for the break, and it's not the worst time for us, but it's still sucky. Such is life!
