January 22 2010 Still out of work
It was one year ago today that I got that awful phone call informing me that I was being laid off from Microsoft. A real shocker! My post the next day http://arthill.smugmug.com/Photography/Daily-Photos-2009/10818177_dNL7K/1/#460068810_cepaX-A-LB
is the second most popular shot I've posted to the dailies so I thought I should post something to commemorate the event.
This isn't a very good clone job but you get the idea :-)
Original is from the FDR Memorial in Washington DC

I'm not as bitter as I was about it. I still get bile in my throat every time I hear a politician saying what he or she will do for "working" families. There are some pluses. I've gotten to see a lot of my grandkids. I find it pretty easy to get rid of phone sales people. I've had more time to spend on the dailies.
Have a great Friday.
