On July 25, I was laid off by Eclipsys Corp.  I was working for them as an Administrative Assistant for a hospital that outsourced their IT Department.  The company assured me that I can relocate to another customer.  As it turned out, they didn't deliver.

After I was laid off, the hospital itself asked if I wanted to temp for them until December.  (Before this offer, the IT company wanted to me resign so that they wouldn't have to pay me my segverance).

I took it and I'm greatful.  When this ends, I will collect unemployment.  Meanwhile, I have seen some recruiters and they are working with me to secure another position.

The good thing is that I'm debt-free.  During he last downturn, I was in $2,300 in debt.  That's all paid up and I'm optimistic that something will come up.
