Laid Off, And Taking A Short Break

I'll be posting again shortly, but I've gotten word that I'm being laid off from my job. I've been a little preoccupied since hearing that news. The last full day I was unemployed was March 4, 1982, so this will be an experience I haven't had in a long time. I'll be posting again soon -- and maybe I can persuade Geekus to do something, since he hasn't worked in years. -- MJ

VERY sorry to hear that! At our age, and in this economy, finding a decent job can be very difficult! I wish you the very best, my good man, and I hope your search will be fruitful, and soon!; July 24, 2012 at 11:14 PM
