What's the worst that could happen?
Must...calm...down... ARRRGH!!!

Okay, so let's say I am not gainfully employed with benefits by Dec. 31st 2007. What's the worst that could happen?

Well, for $350 a month for up to 18 months, I could prevent a lapse in my health insurance with COBRA. I could also collect an unemployment benefit of $363 a week for up to 26 weeks (minus anything I earn by working). If I'm working less than 30 hours a week, I can defer my student loan payments for up to 24 months (no monthly payments with no interest accrued). Come July 7th, 2008, when my lease runs out, I could crash with my dad and stepmom (God help me...).

I could wait tables while working at the coffee shop and taking classes. If I don't have anything lined up by, Jan. 1st, 2007, I know I'll be okay for at least 18 months. I'll just have to break into survival mode. I've played this game before.
