That doesn't sound very rational.

On the contrary, I'm being very rational.  |

Don't know what to say. The company I used to work for downsized, in 2003, and requested I leave, one month after my 35 year service award was presented, along with three others of close to similar seniority and management stature. Six months later, they sold to a Jap firm that was their major competitor. For those who are still with the company: no pension, no 401K, health care that is rather expensive and pathetically poor.
Though I've moved on to a lesser paying job, I am collecting pension from them, driving 80 miles less per day to and from work, and working aobut 2/3 of the hours. I am rapidly closing in on 57 years old, and am happy for the decreased hours. I have downsized my life and am ok with my situation. For those younger, more might be needed.
Good Luck.

Why not pack up the family move down here, got no doubt you could get a job and I'm sure the cost of living is cheaper..... Seriously, hate to hear the news on the job front.

Actually, I think I've witnessed enough of what you're talking about, enough to try to never be like that.
 - wanna get married? (pending success at such)  |

Gay marriage has been banned on the internets....for the sake of the children and the sanctity of nternets families, of course. |
