Another Anniversary

Eight years ago today, I moved to New York City.

I was living upstate prior to that and actually enjoying life except for the fact that the economy had gone south and I couldn’t find enough work to sustain me. So I took off for the Big Apple without a job but with a lot of optimism.

Eight years later, I’m being laid off. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Update: Ok, did that come off sounding too negative? I thought so too. And I’m actually having a good day today. Just finished the latest revisions to the resumes, which was an accomplishment in itself. I’ve been networking and getting new leads. Even getting invites to do other fun stuff I haven’t done in ages, like film production work which I used to do long time ago.

I was merely noting how this anniversary was coincidentally occurring around a time when I find myself in similar straits. I’m doing fine. Thank you for your concern.
