I was holding out hope that my job would survive COVID but alas... my firm is closing our branch down. I'm still awaiting my bar results so I'm not marketable as an attorney when looking for replacement work (not that I'm not applying for those jobs, I just doubt I'll get them right now). I'm also applying for law clerk jobs and paralegal jobs in my own state since I won't have to pass the bar for those. But uuuuuuuugh. There's never a good time for this but this was DEFINITELY a bad time. Keep your fingers crossed for me y'all. I've got enough savings to float for a few months with unemployment, so I'm not worried in the short term. I got my first job at 14 and only twice during that time was I ever unemployed, and the longest of those two times was for three weeks. So, you know, I'm not gonna gather dust waiting for an opportunity.  Wish me luck!! |

Good luck The Ocean (what is your name?) I'm sure a job will arise soon enough, everyone needs good lawyers. The name is Lauren! And thanks! You and EVERYBODY thanks. Sometimes when shit happens you just need a little sympathy. I'm taking it in stride but all the same it ain't exactly going to be a great day. After I got laid off I woke my wife up and told her, and then said let's go to IHOP and eat breakfast. Because I know spending money to eat at a diner (or whatever iHop is considered) isn't exactly wise right after losing your primary source of income, but damnit I knew I wanted to go out and act like I was having a celebration so that when I got home I could think to myself I did something fun today and it wasn't a total loss. |

Best of luck Ocean-hang in there.I get the feeling about wanting to go out to eat-you want to at least feel you've got some control so you don't have to shut it down immediately.
