I have been laid off for over a month now which I knew was coming, and have been keeping very busy doing many things around the house that I didn't really have time to do before or never took the time, like cleaning out the upstairs of the garage, building an above ground garden, I have enough firewood for the next 4 years lol etc., but I have good days and bad days "mentally". Of course I will be called back if we get up and running again but it will take some time for me because I do shipping for a jewelry company that has stores all over the place so I have to wait until they are all open again which I think will take many months yet, so I could be off the majority of the Summer but time will tell. But it creeps into my mind, wondering if I'll have a job to go back to and other thoughts which of course are normal but I just tell myself not to worry and try to put them in the back of my mind and keep busy. On good days my attitude is "I paid into the program all these years, I'm getting paid unemployment and these extra monies, if they call me back I go, if the money stops and they don't call me back I'll do something else" and go on. On not so good days it occupies more of my mind and time thinking about it, not overly worried but the mind can make things seem scary and it is the uncertainty of it all that is what has us nuts right now, one minute it seems like we are turning a corner and things are looking up and 10 minutes later it is back to all doom and gloom and death again so who knows?!
How are you all doing, those on lay off?
