It figures, doesn't it? What is the old saying? I doesn't rain, but it pours? I don't know how long you have been out of work, but I know it isn't pleasant. I've been laid off myself and I hated it.
I got another job in the company, at less pay (of course) but at least my benefits were intact. So Ifeel for you, man.
I hope you walk the tightrope successfully and to your best advantage. I'll be thinking of you.
