Not to break with the thread, but what's it like to be unemployed? I've never been without a job and it would freak me out. I've company hopped .but I was always offered another job before I left my place of work. I have never been let go or fired.

 

I know in Thomas's case he retired from the military.

 

I'm in the same boat as Thomas. In my case I wasn't officially unemployed. I'm on what is classified as terminal leave (20 days of house hunting and any leave you've built up over the years). Essentially I'm still getting paid as if I was still in the military. My paid time off works out to 80 days (20 house hunting/60 leave). If you go back to work before this ternimal time ends, like me, you "double dip" and get paid by both...

Thanks everyone

My last official day of Terminal Leave was today. I am officially retired tomorrow.

My last Army paycheck was today, so my retirement check and my new job check should post around the same time on the 1st of June

:applause: Nice work Thomas and I knew you could

do it. Hopefully the comic budget doesn't skip a beat.

I work right next to a VA hospital...

 

Every time I pass the outside waiting area on my way to other surrounding Duke bldgs

I tell the vets "thank you for serving my country".

 

Even though I am a vet too, I like to make sure they know that there are still people that

that are proud of them for what they did to keep our country free.

Maybe it's just me...but I feel very uncomfortable when people say that to me.
