Call me a sellout- I ended up signing the exit agreement with my company. I did however go in and have a meeting with my bosses to discuss their reasoning behind why I was let go- a meeting that left me with few answers.
When I brought up that I had no prior warning of the problem I was let go for; was not talked to by my supervisor, and the issue was not brought up in my review, my former VP's solution was to say; "I'm not getting into this", pack up her paper work, and walk away- leaving my other former boss, and myself sitting there dumbfounded by her actions.
So I'm waiting to get a my last cheque- the one that I got if I signed their agreement, and a corrected Record of Employment (they messed up the last one) so that I can get my Employment Insurance benefits.
When that cheque clears, I am so tempted to send my VP a letter expressing my disgust at her behavior...
I am though, starting to see where I wasn't seeing the negatives of the job while I was in it. One of the big worries that had come up for me was my relationship. This job was a solid contributor of my last relationship ending (not the sole reason, but one of many reasons).
Now I am in a new relationship- with a wonderful guy that I have known for years and I don't want to screw this one up. It's long distance- he lives about 3 and a half hours away from me- and goes to school another 2 hours away from there. I was just starting to wonder what I was going to do, knowing that my job was going to keep me from seeing him for sometimes almost three weeks at a time. I guess a higher power gave me my answer.
Now I'm scouring the papers, and job sites I know of looking for work- while at the same time, researching possibilities for school. I'm going nuts. A lot of people are afraid of being unemployed- but seem to learn to relax about it- but I'm still having mini nervous breakdowns trying to figure out what to do.
Luckily wine and a hot tub in the backyard, and of course, mom, make a lot of things better.

AND, don't waste the time sitting at home fretting. If you've done all your cv updating, and jobseeking for the week, get out and have some fun! I spent the best part of a year walking, climbing and mountain biking in 1991!!
