I was laid off once too.
(My site was shut down, and I refused to moved to a new location...)

It was not a pleasant experience, as far as I remember
I was afraid, angry and feel treated as just a resource not a human...
(Things were quite different here in France where it wasn't SO easy to find a job...)

Anyway, all I remember now, is that this laid off led me to something better...
And I like to think that it's always the case.

Whatever the time it takes to find the better job,
with more experience, skills and a better knowledge of the entreprise (who said The Man ;-)
you should be better armed to find something that suit you better...
