What just happened!??!!

Okay - so I am officially and unexpectedly unemployed due to a series of unfortunate occurences. Who would have thought the writers strike in Hollywood would effect my staffing job in Texas!??! The abruptness with which our company shut its doors was mind boggling! I am still reeling, though trying to work to help our end client transition. I am currently working for free (my application for saint hood is pending, this should help). I am hoping in some way, I will be able to get paid for the 3 days I have worked non-stop to help pick up the pieces scattered by the toppling of a big company involved in many different areas. My prayers go out to all those who are in a much worse situation than I am. I think I will be employed by the end of today, at least temporarily for the transition, so wish me luck!
