Unemployed!

Well, it's happened. We are both, simultaneously, without jobs. Oren left his work last Friday, telling them he would come back when they could pay him (it's been a few weeks now). They were disappointed and maybe a touch surprised, but he stopped short of explaining to them the way a job works - i.e., that employees work in exchange for pay. I don't know that I would have been polite enough to save them that speech.

I'm still looking for work - hoping to wait it out and find a great first position, wondering which will win the game of chicken: my selectivity or my need for a paycheck.

What better time to be unemployed together? We have two bicycles, a fridge full of leftovers, and what seems to be a looming economic depression. Time to read and write blog posts and go camping - and touch up the resumes.
