Thanks for your concern but considering that I don't have any info on here that they can use to track me down (name, work or job hunting email, SS#,phone #, business name, etc) I'm not too concerned about that. Hence, why I ranted on here as opposed to facebook or likedin.

Honestly I wouldn't mind getting fired at this point though. Hell, I've been trying to get fired for reasons short of insubordination or work place violence. As long as I can collect unemployment to make up for any hours that a temp or part time job falls short of I'd be fine. It would definitely allow me more time concentrate on finally getting my BA.

Thankfully I got laid off in January. I received a month's severance and unemployment benefits. My mental health has really improved since leaving that place. I have not heard good things through the grape vine since leaving. A lot of people are leaving that place like rats escaping a sinking ship. I am now working a part time job at my college's library helping digitize special collections for the school. My BA is in Art History with plans to earn my masters in art conservation and restoration or library and information science.
