Thank you to everyone who answered my questions (update)

I posted here 2 weeks ago when I was panicking about my layoff as a data-entry clerk. Any experience at all would help. I am still searching but I have a plan. Anyone want to swap notes?

If you feel up to it, answering a new question is a great way to pay it forward.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
