Out of Work for Now

Tough time ahead at Casa de la Simple Man.  My job went away at the hospital I worked at.  Although I am appealing, it takes a long time with  many steps.  The long and short is I need to go through this process as my employer is the only healthcare system in the very large county I live in that provides mental health services, my line of work.    The nearest competitors are well over an hour away.  This didn't pose a problem in the past but now is a concern with the way the world is turning.  An hour in a car translates to forever on foot in a state that will not issue a CCW permit unless you have been murdered already,  you gotta love New Jersey.
