My old supervisor was asking if I had some things in order which struck me as quite odd and my first thought was lay offs!! |

A few years ago my husband was laid off, we had just purchased our first home, and it was one week before Christmas. The gut wrenching feeling that lasted for days in my stomach is something I will never forget.

It's really bad here too. The state of Arizona has a 1.6 billion dollar deficit for this fiscal year which ends on June 30. One of the departments they're cutting budget for by hundreds of millions is the one responsible for processing unemployment claims. People are having to wait 3 or 4 months for their claims to go through.

One Swedish lady thought she had a good idea when she went to a bank in Denmark with her Swedish Monopoly money and managed to convince them it was real, to change it for her. After they did, she must have then thought she was onto a good thing and came back with some more---though the bank had wised up in the meantime. When she returned with a fist full of Monopoly money, she was arrested. I guess she's waiting to play her Get Out Of Jail Free card now |
