Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. On Jan 10 of this year the new governor fired 150 state employees including my wife and me. My wife just went into shock and depression. I started making plans and budgeting. I had to keep reassuring my little daughter things would be alright. I literally had to force my wife to get up and get looking. I also figured if we were unemployed we might as well be unemployed somewhere we both would like to live. Checking out other states, sending out resumes and networking was a full time job for me. During all of that my wife got rehired by another state agency and I went into private practice. We are now making almost half of what we were in the past, but are doing ok. Keep looking and moving forward. Spend a short time feeling sorry for yourself, then start making plans.
