Officially unemployed

[RobertInOntario]

I never thought I'd be posting something like this, but I might just be about to join your ranks, at least partially! Long story short, my employer is asking several staff to temporarily work a 3-day work week (i.e. a temporary, partial layoff).
The details are still being worked out.... But I could end up having much more time to model and visit heritage trains, but not much money to do things!

Just don't let yourself get too down about it. Use the extra time to get caught up, and spend more time with your kids.

Thanks for your encouragement, Kevin. I do plan to do things like this, especially since it's supposed to be a temporary & partial layoff. I'm actually looking forward to having two days per week to do other things. Having so many interests -- trains, of course, being one the the main ones -- I have all sorts of ways to use my extra time. I might even volunteer to help at one of our heritage railways.

However, I will still need to fire up my resumé and do some job searching.

How is your situation going?

Cheers, Rob
