F... Layoffs.

[The Goat]

Condolences EE. Like said elsewhere this national recession is a real pisser. My only suggestion (since you asked) is to keep you're credit in good shape if it was already. Don't make any late pmts, etc etc even if you have to advance money on an LOC for a short time to pay bills, which I'd only suggest to somebody w/ good work history and by the sounds of it you def got skills bro.

... one more thing, don't tell your bank, crdt cards, etc you lost your job unless you're enrolled in one of the pmt protection plans.
