The Joys of being funded by the state government

Oh the joys of working at a place funded by the state government. So, the WONDERFUL (the use of the term "wonderful" is sarcastic) state of North Carolina has made the decision to completely cut out the DJJ funding for wilderness camps. Meaning, B and I lose our job and the 2nd camp in 9 months for me is closing and the 3rd camp in three years for B. Now, originally, the plan we got from headquarters was that all camps were closing by the end of June. We were kind of excited about this, because it meant we had a good solid three to four months to find new jobs. WELL, we just got word from camp (in the form of HR visiting camp for a surprise staff meeting) that camp is NOT closing at the end of June, but April 21. Meaning we have a month before camp closes. This is not enough time to find new jobs, but we can make it...I hope.
