And it's not all gloom and doom at work. Things are changing quite rapidly, and while there's no great influx of cash, there was a small influx of cash to my wallet (which, oh hell yes, will be deposited tonight without delay. Just in case...) and it appears that in exchange for my loyal service, will continue to be a small to moderate influx of cash as time goes on. No, I'm not rich, no I can't really pay all of my expenses this month, but I did get slightly more than what an unemployment check would have been and I get to keep my job. We'll see how it plays out but I'm staying put for the time being.
