My husband's plant closed (we were in Ohio, too), but we decided to move to a different state where he was offered a job. That's blessing number one! <BR/><BR/>Now I'm looking for one. There are many jobs when I look online, but nobody is calling me. I think there are, like you say, so many people going after each job.<BR/><BR/>I know I'll get one eventually, and when I do, I am going to try to remember this time when I wanted a job...any job...so badly.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your beautiful writing:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305469033894977351.post-4697148175417451092009-03-11T23:18:00.000-04:002009-03-11T23:18:00.000-04:00Diane -Two of my brother-in-laws have been laid of...Diane -<BR/><BR/>Two of my brother-in-laws have been laid off/let go within the last month.

Always. <BR/><BR/>A favorite line of one of my favorite singers, Michael Franti, goes like this: "wise men count their blessings; foolish ones count their problems."<BR/><BR/>Good post.rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248554235709475320noreply@blogger.com
