Dear Mr. Caff, Welcome, I'm a 2 day member myself,seems like a smart, friendly, witty and insightful bunch of people here. I am sorry your job ended; I'm in America, our unemployment situation is SCARY! A local hospital deleted 25% of their positions a few months ago, and 'my' grocery store is going to strike; the management company wants to cut back or end their health insurance. Your living situation sounds quite difficult to adjust to, doesn't sound like you have your own space....hope it helps being able to visit Wrongplanet and 'talk' with others who can understand!
