Oh god, that SUCKs! Escorted from the building??? no chance to get the stuff from you desk? And *looks around and makes quick back up of my computer at work* I hear you about stuff at work.

I've been laid off too, years ago, and the suckage just doesn't end. I was however, paid my outstanding vacation time, which I thought was something they had to do. You mentioned only getting paid for the day, so make sure you get paid for all outstanding time owed. File a complaint with the EDD/FTB if not.

And fingers crossed for something hugely better soon.
