Why isn't Our Dear Friend on his way to the job fair he said he was attending this morning? Lurking here isn't going to help.
I went to a different job event early this morning. I left the house about 7:45 and got home about 9:00. It was an effort to throw out all the stops. At this point, I'll even take a call center just so I can get a paycheck. That's what the place was this morning - a staffing company hiring for a call center. My financial cushion is getting smaller.
You're cutting down on the wrong cushion, Jeff.
