Well, I suppose several of you know that I'm unemployed and looking for work. I did not get the cable installation job, as optimistic as we were about it, so, it's on to whatever else we can scrounge up.The good news of sorts is that I've set something of a personal record for job hunting in the number of jobs I've applied for in the last week and a half. Contrary to popular belief, there are still plenty of jobs available in this Economy that everyone is so scared of, there just may be slightly stiffer competition for some of them.
While it's true that a lot of people are getting laid off across the nation, many of them are professionals whose careers and skill sets are miles beyond my own. That's probably why many of them find the layoffs so devastating. I suppose if I was used to having a great job with a great future, looking forward to retirement or whatnot and then had it all snatched out from under me, I'd freak out a little, too.
Anyway, wish us luck while looking for those open windows. :)
In other news, the tiller is running again, kind of. I think it's an angry monster that wants to eat me, but we'll try to feed it the dirt and compost in the garden instead. Pictures of tillers, gardens, small children and babies to follow hopefully later today.
