So on Thursday I became one of the unemployed. This is course a stressful time for and my sweetie-wife. However I look around at the finances and I do not see any disaster on the horizon.

I have already filed for unemployment, updated my resume and performed a basic job search. I See plenty of possibilities and currently I remained in a guarded optimistic state.

This does kill plans for worldcon this year as even if I find a new job quickly it will be highly unlikely that I would have the paid time off for the convention.

To console myself I submitted two short stories to markets on Friday and monday, in addition to resumes, I plan to start sending query letter for my novel to agents and editors.
