    Bummer.
    It though.
    It does happen.
    Maybe more often than I know.

    Learning is something too.

    Here’s my potsherd: remnants of years of commercial pre-press production work as a master journeyman, translated into twelve-hour night shifts, cascading layoffs (due to severe downsizing from digitalization revolution) and other numbing horrors. If it’s any consolation, I (and others) found new life after the final layoff. This remnant

    looking for
    my chains

    became,

    the view
    from not working
    breathtaking!

    Jeffrey, agreeing, all are victims of recession; those in bread lines, as well as those doing well. Carole D. your words vindicate the different percept:
    nothing
    for everything:
