Eh, that's the question. I couldn't get a straight answer from the HR individual about benefits, but I *was* told on the DL by someone else that I was eligible to be rehired as a seasonal rep. Also, I was able to sign up on the wait-list to do e-mails from home, and was told that, as a former employee, I would have preferred status as a candidate because I Have a Clue.

Florida is a mixed bag for job seekers; we have tons of people coming here to look for work, but we also have to build homes for them, give them places to shop, etc. Not to mention retirees and snowbirds and tourists, they need services, too, especially medical. That's huge. So, I'm established here since high school---which is practically a native, with an extensive local job record, and a gamut of skills...we'll see!
