We've been going through a lot of problems since I got laid off from my computer programming gig at the end of December. We're filing bankruptcy right now, and just got to the point where we can survive on my paycheck at my new job (computer tech, pays half of what I was making before) as well as my wife's part-time human resources job.

Well, yesterday I come home and my wife tells me that she got laid off because the place she works isn't doing so well right now. So we're applying for unemployment and scrambling to figure out how we're going to pay the bills... since we're filing bankruptcy, we have no credit cards to use.

Anyways, I just wanted to rant a little bit... get it off of my mind and onto (virtual) paper.
