We had a board meeting today (if which I am on) and they voted to give paid employees (me, the musician and retiring pastor) 3 months severance pay.

Great. That's like $1200 for me. Only not really because that will be for bills and not for fun, so savings is still going to have to be broken into at some point.

I really counting on that unemployment check to help with bills, even if I'd only be getting it for 6-12 months.
