Reply With QuoteSorry to hear about that. Just do your best to stay positive and I'm sure something else will come along quickly. Meanwhile you can enjoy the time off and spend it with your wife and kids!
What kind of work do you do? Is it difficult to find another job doing the same thing so that you can get right back into what you enjoy?

Lost my job yesterday
It came as a total surprise... and shock. My position was 'eliminated'. Really nice way to start the new year. I just went thru this 2 years ago, and the sad part is I REALLY liked this job. Oh well, nothing like starting over at 48 with a wife and two kids to support.
Sorry, I ramble. It's hard not to be depressed. Hopefully something better will come along.

Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.
The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

whoa, Jersey Devil.....I'm really sorry that happened to you, especially since it sounds like you've been through this whole thing before. It sure ain't easy to do that after 40, especially for a generation that grew up with the idea that you get one job or a career and stay there until retirement.
Keep your chin up, though - this sure isn't a new phenomena and a lot of people have been going through this since the early 90's...try to stay positive and maybe this will end up being a door that opens to something you really want to do with your life.

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. I really appreciate it. My biggest concern is that my last job paid very well and had great benefits. Things not too common these days it seems.
