I feel the complete opposite since my layoff. I actually started drinking again (my wife encouraged this  ) My wife is the best and along with telling me to "take all the time off you need" since i had been worked to the bone the last 4 years (80 hour weeks on average) she actually made me go to college instead of getting another job. Are we living like we used to? No. Am i doing without some of the stuff I used to take for granted? Yup. Are we in any danger of losing house/cars/etc? Nope. Have I lost 50lbs due to not being glued to a computer and eating out all the time. Check! Am I an at home Dad? Yep  Do i cook and clean? Yup! Am I having fun and enjoying my life more than the past 8 I spent with my last employer? ABSOLUTLY. Don't dwell on what you lost, Think about what you still have and where you can go. (oh and my college schedule consists of three hours a night, monday tuesday and wednesday.All paid in full by the Texas Workforce commision, along with my unemployment) The only bad thing about the whole layoff is that my wife has put me in charge of the band boosters concession stand during football season and i have to maintain their bank account. I'd almost rather go back to work

Non-Gaming / Trading Forum / Need a older agp video card to help someone out!

My father-in-law asked me to look at a older ladies computer who plays keyboard in their band. She is on a fixed income and depends on her computer for everything and the last person who worked on her computer stole a hard drive telling her it was bad. She currently has a geforce 5200 and anything along those lines would be great if someone has one lying around and arent using it. Keep the price low if possible cause I'm not working and I will probably foot the bill for it

Being a victim of a layoff in March I know how you feel. But the company I worked for for 8 years decided to put me in the field "temporarily" til stuff picked up. 3 weeks later i found out that was a pretty simple tactic to fuck me out of three weeks of vacation and 2 weeks of sick time. But everything seems to happen for a reason, when I signed up for unemployment they told me if i wanted they would pay for me to goto school and pay my unemployment while going. The choices are slim on what they will pay for but I am now being paid the max benifit til my 2 year program is over as long as i pass. I start next tuesday
