38. I was laid off last month after 33 years for the same crap
But I'm remembering all that I did, and all that I can do, and I'm going to get a better and happier job. You need to tell yourself the same thing.

The first thing you have to do is to remind yourself that you are a worthy person. You don't have to accept the judgment of a greedy corporate bastard on your life. You need to purge yourself of your bitterness before you can impress another employer.

Go to the library and get all the job hunting books you can, in a pile. Read through them. Get the advice you think will help you the most. Start making those calls to employers. Start looking for the job that's waiting out there for you, even if you have to plow through a forest of "no's".

And never give up on yourself.
