And we all breathe a big sigh of relief

pegkerrRob told me last night that his case worker at the DIsplaced Worker Center told him that there's federal money available for us, too, which will give us another 13 weeks of breathing room. I'm very relieved; the state money runs out for us in another four weeks or so. I thought the federal money hadn't passed Congress so I'm confused as to where this money is coming from but hey, I'll take it. This will take us through February, and then we have about three months of saving left after that.
Surely he will have found something by then.
Next week he's going to start a two-week course through the Displaced Workers center on jobhunting (mornings only) which he REALLY needs, because I think he's rather clueless about this whole jobhunting thing and could really use the help.

I know they kind of suck, but they're good for stuff in the interim. They're also good for getting your foot in the door for permanent positions at big companies.
