97. I've been through it recently.

Nine years and no severance. :grr:

I was angry, I was scared, and I didn't think I'd ever find comparable employment in the current economy.

Rather than wallowing in pity and pessimism, I immediately started calling people and getting resumes out. The job search became my fulltime job. I spent hours every day online and on the phone. A few months later and I'm in a better job with better pay and better benefits. Here's hoping the same happens for you. Hang in there and start making calls and getting resumes out. And apply for unemployment as soon as you can, you've paid into it and and you deserve it.
