I don't think I've ever been this happy to be able to read work emails!!

2. ugh...sorry to hear

I'd reached out to two former employers (both of whom I'm still on good terms) for some part-time contract work and never heard back.

Had an interview w/a another company from a referral from a former colleague and the interview went very well. Was for a couple of months of contract programming. Haven't heard back yet.

Companies aren't interested in taking on furloughed individuals and we have hundreds upon hundreds in the company still not yet called back and that $600/week has ended now.

All those billions and trillions made by hedge funds and billionaires in the stock market have done wonders for our society, eh??
