Re: Your job?
I heard about your double-dip recession, Zoltan. I have a feeling we are very likely headed that way, too.

Re: Your job?
Hey Zoltan, I was listening to a radio station from Galway this morning. The news reports sounded very dire indeed. I also heard them talking about the guy with the bomb in London. Crazy world.

Re: Your job?
Things are looking pretty bad, despite the government telling us all that it's going to get better. I really think that we are in a major depression, not just a recession, and it may take 10 or 12 years before we see any semblance of a "normal" ecconomy again.
Of course, in the case of those horible wedding pictures, there's some one who should lose his or her job. I can't believe any self respecting professional photog would even want anyone to see photos like that. Once in a while, when my flash unit doesn't recycle fast enough, or I hit the shuuter release prematurely and get an out of focus or accidenta' picture, I delete it right away. And this guy actualy gives them to his client? And charges 1200 bucks???
It's all fine and good to want a job, but one must also be willing to do the work once they get the job. If a young couple shelled out 1200 bucks for me to take photos of them at their wedding, I would make damn sure the images I send to them were 2nd to none. Of course, my depression era / World War II era parents taught me to take pride in my work, not just my paycheck. Go figure.

Re: Your job?
I will still be on the payroll until May 25. After that, I get 33 weeks of severance pay. So in my case, no need to really panic yet. I am a little worried. 37 weeks will fly by in no time. I just dread the job search and interview process.

Re: Your job?
I am 42, so I am almost to the age where employers will be reluctant to hire me. Hard to say or know at this point, but this may be a blessing in disguise. While I really did not care for my job or the company, I don't like the circumstances I find myself in. After all, looking for job while you still have one, is much different than looking for one when you are not employed
And since I have Aspergers Syndrome, I do not perform very well in job interviews..
