It's A Great Life - IF you don't weaken

I'm 60 years old, was just fired (the first time in my life!) was denied worker's compensation, and have no prospects.  Think Obama's plan will save me?  I still have my health, and was an asset to that company and would be again if given a chance anywhere else - but there's no work out there.   I had been laid off from my previous better paying position due to the construction downturn, and had to accept this last job just to eke out something.  New management came in, and in this economic situation I was one of the casualties - after working so hard for 2 years to go from part-time to full-time to finally being eligible for medical benefits.  I don't have a degree, just lots and lots of work experience, and a willingness to tackle anything.

I don't really need much to survive on, but I do still owe some on my small home, and so now I lay awake nights knowing that I can maybe make two more house payments, and then I'm done.  My self-confidence is really suffering, as I've applied everywhere I can think of, with absolutely no response.

I need work now, if anyone out there can find it in their heart to help me.  In return you would be getting a grateful, hardworking, on time and loyal employee.  I have lots of good years left to give to it!
