It's somewhat obvious, but when you lose your job, you're unemployed.

I got dropped about two months ago. They didn't handle it well; failed to provide a written notice of any kind or immediately provide my final wages.

Since then, I've had an offer that fell through and several interviews. My time in the office has been traded for phone calls with recruiters and filling out forms. There's also a fair amount of leisure time, which I'm starting to divert toward projects.

I'll probably put more effort into my off-hours projects going forward, as I don't want the current stresses of my life to rise in the future.
