Ugh - I'm so sorry Dar. It's definitely NOT you - what the others have said is great advice - you have a great attitude, and I'm sure that will come through as you start looking for a new job. Sometimes employers just suck.

So sorry to hear it, Dar. My dear fiancee is in the same boat. He's been unemployed for 4 months, with no prospects on the horizon. We decided to get engaged anyway and plan a small wedding, because we were feeling held hostage to the economy. It's cold comfort to know that many others are in the same boat, but it is *some* comfort (to me, at least). When I feel anxious or angry about it, I remind myself that many people all over the world are feeling the same way, through no "fault" of their own.
I'm sure you're great at what you do. So is John. You weren't fired for incompetence, just for lack of $$ to keep paying you. There will be up and down days. But hang in there and enjoy the up days. One thing that's guaranteed is change. (((Dar)))Run like a dachshund! Ride like a superhero! Swim like a three-legged cat!
