CAL,
You'll get back on your feet soon. Economy's picking up a bit, and so is hiring. It might be a blessing in disguise - you can spend more time with your family during the holidays! It sounds like you got a decent severance package.
Maybe a fishing road trip to Hatteras in January is in order.
Keep your chin up - take it from a guy who's been laid off more than three times in the last four years. The first time I got let go was right smack in the middle of the fall run. Yaaaaay!
Here are some job hunt portals - I can pm more if you let me know what your work background is (and maybe where you live).
