    Definitely file for unemployment until something else surfaces for you.
    Good luck.
    It will work out if you stay positive, I'm confident.

    Tulane won tonight, if it's any consolation.
    Keep your head up.

    Sorry to hear the bad news, mate. I know it's small consolation, but please know you are not alone and it's not your fault.

    Best of luck to you.

    BREAKING -- Great news, I have taken a job as a local editor for Patch in northern New Jersey, with the site set to open late next month. I am in the process of lining up freelancers to cover school sports and everything else in my towns, so PM or e-mail for more details.

    Thanks again to everyone for their support and advice, it was a long road back. I started out in local news and this format is essentially what I had been doing in my most recent job, so I feel more than fortunate. I've got a flexible work arrangement, so that's good, too.

    And to Blitz, my apologies for ripping you on another thread. Turns out MY post was the dumbest thing I've ever read here.

    You know what I do and where to find me if you need help finding some stringers.
