    With the current economy it will be nice to know who's employed or not... I have noticed that there are more people signed on boards(AH) these days...

    Do you mind if I thank myself rather than thanking an imaginary diety who had SFA to do with my job or my employment status?

    This is my first day of unemployment since I was 18 :) Currently awaiting deportation to the land down under this week with the other convicts.

    I think when I get back Ill go on the scratch and use the time to spend 10 hours per day learning Dutch. About the only place (along with Scandanavia) still largely untouched by the recession. Holland has a great oul lifestyle and decent summer weather.

    Don't know about the rest of Scandinavia but this might be news to the Swedes where the unemployment rate in rising and their government is talking about economic stimulus legislation.

    If I was well enough to go back, I'd be there in the morning.
    No one will be replacing me as the entire company is closing anyway, (and who could replace me anyway, I am/was brilliant at my job).
