Careful what you wish for...
Ugh I'm sorry you're dealing with this! That's so stressful! I'm glad you'll be able to get unemployment, that will be a load off your mind at least. I saw you said that getting insurance will be a month wait so will you do COBRA during that time? If so at least it's only a month. I did COBRA for 6 months at one point and it was freaking expensive :(
I agree with setting up set times for a job search. Unfortunately it is like a job. I'm sure you're disciplined in your daily work life but looking for a job can be demoralizing sometimes - my husband was laid off for 9 months one time (in a completely different field) and it was rough on him. But by setting up set times to look for a job and also for doing things around the house he felt like he still had some sort of a job so that helped him.
I've been looking for a job for the last 3 months because I expect to get laid off soon or I'll be quitting soon as I hate my job so I really feel your pain on looking! Good luck!!

Yes, I will have to do COBRA for a month :(
I actually pleaded and convinced them to extend my health insurance for a few extra days, just until the 31st (it was supposed to end yesterday). I reminded them of the MAJOR surgery I just had and asked for a few days of grace period to get in some appointments before I start having a major deductible while unemployed.
I am wishing you a tremendous amount of luck and hope that you find something before the inevitable lay off happens. This is NO fun!
