Actually the company I’ve been with for 6 years has cut back for ACA and eliminated 20% of their employees. I got laid off. I’m glad because the company sucks. Looking for something new but taking some down time to rearrange my brain. Whats up with you?
That happened to me thirteen years ago.
That's when I decided to do what I wanted to do, what I enjoyed, rather than what might pay best. I don't make much money, but the stresses of the job don't bother me. I just go there for the physical activity.
It keeps me active, while I think about ways to entertain myself. It's similar to writing; I do it because I enjoy it, not because it's my job to do it.
The new word is up, by the way.
