Re:Come back to reality (Score 1)

Amen, My wife took the hit in September, and was sending resumes to everybody on the face of the Earth. Ok, not that much, but was sending out hundreds. After 9 months she ended up getting a job as a clerk for a local drug store. She has like 20+ years in publishing, mostly electronic. She felt useless because she couldn't even get a waitress job. I kept trying to tell her that it's not her, it's the economy. Echo this story for several of my neighbors. In Kansas City Gateway and Sprint are major employers. All the neighbors that I have talked to work for one of those two companies. If you have followed the news, both have made large cuts in personel. Unemployment has run out for a few, and they still don't have jobs. For sale signs are raising all over the place. My guess is that they weren't taking a breather between jobs either.
