I got laid off on December 31st along with all the other technical writers where I work.
First time in my life to be out of work.
It's happening to a lot of people and there's nothing funny about it.
Luckily for my family and I we put a little away just in case of such an emergency.
Plus I'm fortunate to have a lot of varied skills training and experiance.
I'm already getting some promising nibbles.
Thank you USAF.

There's quite a few people that have only done one thing their whole life and are struggling right now.
Those are the people I really feel for.

I don't know if the website intended the pictures to be funny or not. However I do not consider the Concorde pictures to be in any sense, "funny."

Thanks bud.

It'll work out, it could possibly be a blessing in disguise.
Besides I haven't had a vacation since 1999. I was due one.
