back in the saddle myself
Got laid off last year due to company downsizing. Got hired a few months ago, but to turn around a few days later to be laid off because new company hired too many new people. Now got hired again.
So because of the financial yoyo all this has caused, I hadn't been mongering much. But after getting hired, used the extra cash to cruise good ol' Bmore. Cruised the usual stomping grounds. Notta. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Cruised the next day, and saw one really haggly-looking sw who couldn't even walk straight. She was waving her hands around to flag cars when there were no cars driving near her. She was definitely out of it.
So, hit the cruise control on a 3rd day, this time at night. Same vacant blinkers. 3 different days/nights, and not one sign of life except for that needs-medical-attention one. Wow, recession has hit everyone. Even the sw's are in recession. =p
