I think while we are living in the best of times, it quickly becoming the 
worst of times at the same time. With the instant gratification of e-mail, I 
phones, never out of touch with each other, the net at our finger tips with 
said I phone and the like we are also finding it easier to eliminate jobs 
that workers all over the world depend on to just survive, little own live 
comfortably. I've been out of work now for 2.5 years and have just about 
lost hope, I've sold damn near my whole music collection just to survive, 
thank goodness for sites like Dime and The Traders Den where we can down 
load free live music or I'd have nothing what so ever to look forward to, as 
it is all I do is list things on eBay and package and ship my collection 
away.

I'm not looking for sympathy, it's my path and I'm walking it. The one thing 
that is really killing me the most over everything else, including selling 
my music collection is that our 20th wedding anniversary is coming up 
September 4th and I can't do anything for the one person who never beats me 
down, she never questions me on what I do every day, she's knows I'm doing 
everything I can to find a job. Never once have I heard one single word out 
of her mouth other then to support me. On the other hand my father in law 
has not spoken to me in some two years because he thinks I'm somehow living 
the high life while my wife is busting her ass. Yeah...right! I was told by 
a friend who is an HR person that finding a job in today's market is like 
winning the lottery. There are far more people looking for jobs then there 
are available jobs, this is what we've done to ourselves through advances in 
technology.

Sorry guys, after all this time I just needed to vent to someone and after 
hoping for the best for Iain since he mentioned his situation, then seeing 
his message this morning I just needed to vent. Thanks for reading!

Now like my Mother always use to say to me....If you don't have anything 
positive to say, say nothing at all! So I'll shut up!
