Oddly enough I got the other check yesterday. I went directly to the bank and deposited it. On Tuesday all of the funds will be available. Additionally I did our taxes and figured out our refund.
It's scary. That's it, there's nothing more to really look forward to. No more checks (figuratively, literally I get two more from the Death Star, lagging commissions.) I'll get unemployment, but it's not really all that much, not compared to what I had made.
I run our financial lives windfall to windfall, which is pretty stupid in actuality. We have a plan for the disbursement of the funds, with a certain portion going into savings to live off of in case I can't get a job quickly. I am rather proud of the fact that we can get by for the rest of the year on James's salary if we have to. I guess that's one thing that worked out for us in all of this.
I did apply for a Qwest job. It's a Global Account job, relationship based, not so much hunting. I'm still ambivalent though, I know that Di had a bad experience with them, and they aren't much of anything here in the South, but I'd love to talk with them to see what it's all about. Goodness knows I could do the job blindfolded with one hand tied behind my back.
And now to find my feng shui book. I'm going to clean the house tomorrow and I need to shake up the chi around here!

My experience was related to them giving all the work we could actually profit from to temps - who they didn't have to pay commission - while sticking the main sales floor with stupid repair calls that we had never been adequately trained for in the first place. It was a hair-tearing hellish experience that led to an environment of commission stealing, topped off with a crazy manager who insisted in 1:1 sessions where she spent most of the time talking about dog training. (I couldn't make this up if I tried.)
Two hours after I turned in my final resignation, the department I was in was shut down and moved to b2b, which I heard from some former coworkers was a LOT better.
