Honey, I am so sorry. We'll find you something ASAP.
Ack! Nooooo!
Sorry baby.
It's moments like this that really make me HATE being single. Because right now I really just feel like curling up and crying and being held for just a little bit.
So sorry 
Love from the blogosphere.
I'm sorry Midniter.
Consider yourself hugged.
Love

my job recently quit working for me, i feel your pain
What kind of job was it? Did you get severance?
Sucks that you lost your job.
Accounting work for a non-profit. I had a "choice" of resigning and getting paid for my unused vacation or of being "terminated" (the nice word for your chump ass is fired and get the hell out) and taking my chances with unemployment.
so no...no severance. fuckers.
they laid you off, the didn't terminate you, they are goddamn scumbags- is that illegal?
I'm fired up now. sheesh.
sorry...i've gotten extremely confused. kinda tired. they terminated me and they're going to fight my unemployment claim.
when i got laid off from qwest, i had a DAMN good severance package. i need to go back to work for them so that they can lay me off again.
Not to make light, but have you considered shooting a lawyer in the face with a shotgun loaded with birdshot? Sure, it may seem a random way to address disappointment, but it turns out he'll apologize to YOU after he gets out of ICU.
Just throwing that out there.
"...they terminated me and they're going to fight my unemployment claim."
This is bizarre. Any reason you can suss out? Is it just because they don't want to cough up? Maybe call out for some office gossip over cocktails with sympathetic coworkers?
And I mean, as I understand it (but I'm in Cali -- hello), a lay-off makes it easier to collect unemployment than a firing...
Whatever. Don't think about it for the next couple of days. Just grab a friendly bottle and some chocolate. Forget this reply for now.
Well, I was fired...not laid off.
I'm a little more coherent because I finally got hungry enough to eat.
Our policy has always been to fight every unemployment claim because as a small non-profit, there was no desire to pay out. Keep in mind that I was the payroll & benefits person...I think we've had to pay on every claim lately, so hopefully, they'll have to pay on mine as well.
I think cocktails are already set for Wednesday night. 
Though what I really need is a cock in my tail right about now. Attached to someone that's good enough with his hands to give a decent massage.
I really hate that this decided to be the one weekend of cold rainy weather that we've had in months.
I fthey fired you for no cause (did they fire you for no cause?) then there is now way they can fight the unemployment. Also, even if they fired you for cause that doesn't mean they are scott free.
Dude, I have been fired, laid off, terminated, asked to leave, and whatever so many times. You've got skills and experience. All I have is my genius. You'll be fine. Especially right before tax time? You could probably make some ready cash by handling people's taxes. My dad used to do that for beer money.
Depending on where you live and your former workplace's written policies, they may not be legally able to refuse to pay accrued vacation pay. Even if payment is not required by your state, if they treat accrued vacation as wages for employees who leave vountarily, they can't pretend it's not wages for the involuntarily terminated.
very sorry to hear the news, troy. i was fired once from a magazine... no warning, no indication of problems, "we love you we love you... good bye"
i know how it might feel for you, so i am sending good thoughts to the american southwest right now
i hope it stops raining soon
I don't know your original work agreement at the nonprofit, but if "At Will" was anywhere in there, you blink too fast and it's bye-bye, no matter how productive you are. My transition from academic work to the fucking private marketplace was unbelievably traumatic - crooks, liars, duplicity, all as a matter of course. And if you thought that went for university (notoriously personal and bloody when things go bad), it went double for the private sector.
I'm going to be back on the market soon, myself - my patient is fading, finally. I'll want to sleep for a week, to make up a chunk of the deficit, but I'll probably not be able to afford it. Just looking forward to a weekend again. And more posting, for sure.
Saying good-bye like that, T, really does suck. Last time it happened to me (about 8 years ago), they at least held off until the very end of the day and nearly everyone had gone home. We didn't lose touch, though.
You will get through this, and you will thrive; lean on us, buddy.
