Chances for finding a new paralegal position is very slim, because those openings have evaporated just like outside sales jobs for me have gone down.

What we're going to do now, we're just too stressed out to think clearly. We would love to bail on Detroit, but like I posted earlier, a page or two back, dumping this house will be next to impossible.

Sorry to hear the Mrs lost her job....
