Today Is really about being unemployed. With luck that status will change in the near future if the number of interviews are any indication. Two this week and another next, plus one last week. And there is a possible short project as well. It has been too close to a year and a half - 2 consecutive birthdays without work. Recently I went a month without unemployment assistance while the Senate deliberated and then went on vacation before voting.
Over 20 years ago I had a fun job and, when I was laid off, I was making $8/hr. Has anyone noticed that that's what a lot of companies pay now? How is anyone expected to survive on that? Even in the mid 80s it wasn't spectacular, but it went farther than it would now. I accept that a pay cut will be inevitable and, quite possibly, a move. A move to the right part of the country could mean more sense if the cost of living is lower. I will keep you posted.
