I once got the axe the Friday before 9/11. Everyone else on the team got let go within four months. However I was able to get a gig from my old temping company before the economy crashed. Within a year I was making more than I had before, and I was able to move my then-girlfriend to Boston. Some of the others were out of work for a couple years: I was out for 2.5 weeks. Many years later I was out for nine months, but I was still making more on unemployment than I had been at the job that let me go nearly a decade earlier.
