Today was a very interesting "unemployment" day. I stated with my unemployment orientation; how to be successfully unemployed. All the rules, timelines and important points to make sure you get your check and don't run into trouble during the whole process. It was actually a very informative and well presented class; completely full. I found myself in good company with a variety of newly unemployed individuals.
I got home and found I had received my first direct deposit unemployment check but better yet I got two serious inquiries about my photos and a friend sent me some suggestions on ways we could colaborate on work projects.
I sent out more requests for networking meetings and got some appointments.
Self employment is looking more and more like the right direction and at this point I have too many ideas jumping around in my head and need to narrow them down into something defineable. More networking should help me sort things out.
Tomorrow; leave the house around 8 AM - home by 12:30 and then a meeting at my house in the afternoon.
So far this has been a very positive process; so many good business friends have been amazingly supportive. Thank you to everyone who has sent a recommendation on LinkedIn, taken time to meet with or scheduled a meeting with me and all those who have just been "friends". A special thank you to those who have sent business my way - you are all amazing friends.

Hi: I read your story. Have you ever considered doing work from home,
like customer service, secretarial work, etc.? There are a lot of real
work at home jobs out there that do not charge you any fees to apply or to be
hired. This website has done a good job at putting together a list of legitimate
work at home jobs. They also have some free articles and free scam
alerts available as well. So maybe visit them when you get some free time - it's called Real Pajama Jobs.
Thank you. I am researching all options and heavily leaning toward being self employed.
