So you just had to be a smart ass, didn't you?

My plan was to give 2 weeks notice at my old job, and I really tried to. I just can't keep a level head. When I tried to give the notice, my supervisor pissed me off by making some really snide and rude comments. Then, of course, I lost my cool and told her that since no one seemed to care to much anyway, that night would be my last. Hmmm, little did I know how ruthless they would be, they decided later to tell me that since I didn't give proper notice that they now refuse to pay out the remainder of my vacation time. Of course, I don't have a leg to stand on, they are not legally bound to pay it and I can't afford to fight them. So I screwed myself there, which I suspect, was their goal all along. The next day my husband came home with a piece of paper stating he was laid off. GO FIGURE!! Nothing can ever just go right and keep going, I have to always get one good ass kicking after another. They are telling him he will be called back by July, but I am not holding my breath. Of course, they laid him off 3 days before the end of the month and his benefits end the last day of the month of layoff. Of course, we could continue to pay COBRA-but since that is more than we even make in a month with us both working it's not really a feasible option.
So we have basically nothing in savings, and I have 2 weeks before I will see my first paycheck. He has filed his unemployment claim, so we will see if we can rob Peter to pay Paul this month and pray he gets called back to work next month. Since we are already planning on filing for bankruptcy, I refuse to pick up a credit card and put that in jeopardy. If he doesn't get called back in July, we will be back to square one and right back where we were 2 years ago!! God, it is so frustrating that after 10 years of marriage rather than things getting easier, they progressively get worse. Just when I think I have hit bottom, I bounce! Hit after hit is getting really tiring......
