    Sorry to hear that bud. It's better than being laid off completely. It certainly shows goodwill on the company's part.

    This whole recession is a nasty business. I see a lot of businesses going down around here. It makes me nervous. I'm almost done with my degree. Being "let go" would be a particularly nasty turn of events for me right now. I keep my fingers crossed and pray a bit.

    Dang it, I'm sorry to hear that bro!! At least it's not a complete lay-off or termination.

    I see through your elaborate plan to hide from any retaliation on my part for the generous newbie sampler you sent me. (He shipped it from his office address)

    On a more serious note, sorry to hear about the temp layoff.

    Sorry about your situation, bro. I am sorry about the economy as a whole. Seems like every week, people I know or know of are getting the slip. Another wave went through my location today. I wish they would do the rotational thing instead.

    Prayers for you and all the others in similar situations.

    As long as your not losing your job your golden. A month off with a some pay is great. Only thing about unemployment is they will not begin paying you until you use up your back pay and vacation pay. So my guess is you wont be losing money just your vacation time. your first week or two weeks back to work will most likely be your unemployment first check. Maybe you do not accrue vacation time and you just get a yearly shut down I do not know, if that is the case then it will not matter. Anyhow your a resourceful man and I am sure you have a good time. Its time to sell some junk on ebay!
