You know, life is fucking hilarious. I remember having a moment when the economy first started to tank, thinking to myself, this will never effect me, I'm young, no children, no morgage. I couldn't have been more wrong. Last month I was laid off for the second time since 2009. The economy has REALLY effected me. And it's interesting how losing your job really changes the course your life is on. Luckily my course right now is pretty stable, and I'm positive, for the most part. I'd be lying if I said it hasn't been nice not working the last month. But I really enjoyed my job, I felt connected to the community which is a rare thing. And finding another job like that in this town, in this economy, is a daunting task and virtually impossible. I don't know why I haven't been writing more with all this time on my hands. But it's hard to confront what is right in front of you. I plan to hit the ground running once January arrives, and see if I can't get back in to the community I once felt so involved in. Oh, and Christmas is three days away. Even though I'm unemployed, again, this year will be better than the last.
