I've more or less lost my job....

I'm still in shock that the restaurant I work for is trying desperately not to fold for good. They've cut over half the shifts. I still work brunch on the weekends, but now I only have a job 2 days a week. And I might lose my health insurance as a result, because I now only work part time

I would keep an eye on Dick Blick's career site:

Not only do they have three stores in Chicago, but their corporate offices are in Highland Park (accessible on the Metra) and it's full of people who love art to pieces.

Thanks for the link. It's definitely something to consider.

Oh man, I'm so sorry! I hate seeing the slow-moving wave of layoffs roll across my flist -- #$%@& economy.

thanks, I still have 2 shifts, but...
Still, I've always wanted 5 days off and I know this hit a lot of other people before me. How are people surviving?
