Thankfully I paid off my Credit Union loan early.  They might allow me 
to renew the loan and turn my high-interest credit card debt into a 
low-interest large-payment loan.  Hopefully anyway.  Regardless I still 
have to handle the situation even if I need to take another *groan* 
retail position.

I don't doubt it.  I just wish it would hit some of the nastier beasties 
higher up the I/T food chain.  But then you can afford to be out of work 
with a multi-million severance package.
