Sorry, yo. Maybe you can put your landscaping experience (getting drunk and knocking down trees) to good use for your next job.

Oh, you have no idea. At least I'm kicking off this unwanted vacation in style by going to this tonight.

Sorry to hear that, Third Man. Was your company not doing so well so they just needed to reduce head count? And Rad, unless you work where you work, it's rarer every day for even companies considered reputable and employee friendly not to have severance. With some companies you're lucky to get paid your unused PTO.

That sucks man! I'm sure things will work out.
Enjoy your time off while you can.

I'm all for defilling the mailbox as well.

That sucks, but you're a sharp guy. I have no doubt that you'll be back on top before long.

Do you at least get to draw unemployment? I've heard Kansas pays pretty well.
