Back to the Breadline

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on March 2, 2009). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

I suppose I should take a moment to expand a bit on today’s happenings, though there’s really not a whole lot more to say than what I tweeted earlier: the company needs to cut back, and as I was a temp employee, I was easily expendable. Apparently I should have been notified over the weekend, but for some reason all my temp agency had was my cell phone number, which I never bother checking. Still, everyone at my job was quite nice, and the manager has said that he’ll e-mail me a letter of recommendation.

I took today off to rest, process things, and generally mope around the house. Watched the most recent Battlestar Galactica episode, imported another old vinyl album, napped, and just aimlessly dinked around on the ‘net. The plan for the next few days is to take Prairie to work so that I can have the car, and then start seeing what I can find. First stop will be my temp agency to see if they have any positions open, and then…well, I’ll just have to see what I can find.

Wish me luck! The way the job market is these days, I may need it.
