I couple of weeks ago word started going around my work that we might be having layoffs soon. Well I guess that’s not too hard to believe since it is really going around. In fact, from what I understand, the unemployment rate is higher than it has been for decades.

Then this week the big axe really started to swing around our plant. I helplessly stood by while a bunch of my coworkers got their heads lopped off by this axe, and was very happy that mine was missed. But alas, I could only avoid the chopping block for so long. I got downsized. And nobody in my field is hiring.

So I am being proactive about it. Instead of going under like so many other people, I listed my house for sale with a local realtor. I got in touch with my brother who sells Carlsbad CA commercial real estate who says that the Carlsbad real estate market is still doing well. He is going to take me under his wing, train me and even let me stay in one of his townhomes in Carlsbad until I get back onto my feet. After all, I have to do something instead of just sitting around feeling sorry for myself.
