Laid off this week, where do I start? - 7 months and counting

I lost my job as a mechanic and I am not sure what to do first. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have not told my family yet. What did you do in the first week?

I made a short list: benefits, bills, documents, and then my résumé. One thing each day kept me steady.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
