[television is just wrong]

I stand to lose my job. I work for a Boy Scouts of American Coumcil, donations are rock bottom. The Executives have done their jobs, people just don’t have the money. :( I really don’t want to be unemployed at my age and out looking for a job with this high rate of unemployment.

I remained "employed", but with no contracts converting my labor to income for the company from Nov 2008 until June 22, 2009. I burned over 200 hours of vacation keeping the household finances solvent. I'm now 930 miles from home. I have productive work and I'm no longer bleeding vacation hours to stay afloat. It's no picnic. The commute is 30 miles to work. I'm wasting 2 to 3 hours a day commuting vs working from my home office with a zero commute. The commute alone sucks $1200 per month to operate my vehicle. Food costs are higher as well. I'm allergic to something in the air in San Diego, so I have a perpetual sore throat. I'm looking forward to securing work that I can do in Idaho so I can return home.
