Thanks Steve. That's why they gave me this:



I also received the personal thanks of the then-President of the company, Randall Tobias. So I asked him for a character reference so, when I got laid off, I could find another job. Considering he was one of the guys literally caught with his pants down in the Deborah Palfrey DC Madam scandal as a high Bush admin official, I guess that reference doesn't mean too much these days.

On a more serious note, I hope you're able to find another place to live soon. I've been unemployed since April, 2007 so I know the feeling. I'm just fortunate enough to have had some savings and hit these unemployment extensions at just the right time to stay in our house. Our prayers are with you.
