So yeah.
I'm back on unemployment again starting next week. Honestly, I'm not employed. Just with all the cuts to government agencies, the work I did has been put on hold, and thus my employer has had to fist lay off about 10 people a few weeks ago, and today an additional 20+ were put on furlough. That includes me (just remember, government cuts create lots of jobs... fucking Tea PARTY!!!!). As I'm not working any hours, I do get to claim unemployment during this period. Luckily, I won't lose any benefits or need to file COBRA as my employer has not terminated my employment, just cut all my hours till things start back up.
Still not sure as to all the details as I'm waiting for the paperwork explaining what all is going on. Just really sucks. I now agree with what Fuzzwolf said: Even if the world ends January 1, 2012, it will still be a better year then 2011.
The start up to this year sucked by my 2.5 year relationship ending and then getting laid off the first time right before Christmas, then spent a portion unemployed whilst trying to find a new living situation. Then I got this job and felt that I would have somewhat steady employment for a couple years. Now I'm out of work again after only 8 months. I just feel like I can't get ahead, that the American Dream is dead for anyone under 40, and in 30 years I'll have to fight in a revolution to take back this country as Democracy had fallen in the U.S. to the wealthy. The super rich funding the radical and insane right are going to form a new government where only thy get to decide what goes on in government. We can all see how things end when the wealth of a nation is held by only an upper echelon of the countries population. I wonder what the revolution will be called in 20 years as we name the ones going on now as the Arab Spring.

And that revolution, isn't that technically going on now with the Occupy movement? I know its not as big now but it seems to be getting larger in numbers as each day goes by.
