Unemployed - first time in 31 years

This is the first time since I started working in 1980 that I have been gainfully unemployed.
Dell has been slowly eliminating the old guard of the former Perot Systems and it was my turn.
Truth be told, I was ready to go and have been waiting for this for some time.  The good news is that I got a fairly nice severance package.  The bad news is that it wasn't quite as nice a package as Perot used to offer in the past.  Nonetheless, it was not too shabby - it came to about 70% of my annual salary.
So now its time to enjoy some time off and eventually start looking for another job.
