Greetings!

Hello all!

First of all, I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the web. I have created this blog in order to share with all of you my experience as someone who has been recently unemployed. I say recently, but actually, on the 28th of this month, I will be "celebrating", not really, the one-month anniversary of that all too memorable day when my boss walked into my office and uttered the words, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to let you go." It will be an anniversary of sorts but not one I'm particularly looking forward to.

This current recession has hit many hard-working individuals and families very hard. In my particular situation, it has been tough for my wife and I to make ends meet, but with God's help and the generosity of our family and friends, we have been able to cover our costs. We are very grateful for all of the help and support we have received, and I honestly don't know where we would be right now without it. Our best wishes go out to those families who are enduring these very difficult times. Hopefully, things will get better soon.

I sincerely hope that those who decide to follow this blog can take away something from it. Maybe a little perspective. Maybe some helpful information or maybe just some entertainment. In any case, it will give me something to do while I scour the job boards in my frustrating quest for new employment. So stay tuned. Who knows. This blog might be something worth reading. Goodnight!
