Definitely Been a Long Time

Actually I totally forgot about this blog.

Since my last entry, my life has gone from mellow to a puddle of Jello - someone throw me a rope!

I am now a resident of Georgia, north of Atlanta, in the town of Canton. It is beautiful here. I just wish my mood reflected the scenery. I feel painted into a dark corner with no way out. I am out of work like the rest of America (perhaps I should move to India to find a job). In my line of work (bookkeeping/clerical) everyone now wants a candidate who is bi-lingual with at least an Associates Degree. It is amazing how I worked as a bookkeeper for over 20 years spoke one language -- English, and the only diploma I had was high school. Now I find myself a senior citizen with no retirement, no home, no job and at the mercy of my family to keep a roof over my head and food on the table. Getting up each day is such a joy.

Thought for the day:
It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose your own. - Harry S. Truman
