Thank you to everyone who answered my questions - 7 months and counting

I posted here 18 weeks ago when I was panicking about my layoff as an accounts payable clerk. I am in Spokane, in case local advice matters. Two tips made a real difference: keeping a log and asking for help early.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
