WELL SINCE THE LAST TIME I POSTED I'VE COME UPON THE WORST OF TIMES FACING ECONOMIC WAR ON THE MIDDLE CLASS IN OUR NATION. MY EMPLOYER HAD A REDUCTION IN FORCE AND CUT JOBS. ALTHOUGH AS A PROFESSIONAL I CAN SEE FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE THEIR NEED TO BE PROACTIVE IN FORECAST OF UPCOMING MARKET AND REACT TO PREVENT WORSE CALAMITY WITHIN THEIR UPCOMING CORP. THAT JUST WENT PUBLIC IN LAST 2 YEARS.

ANYWAY, I AS THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS TO WALK THRU THIS POOR MANAGEMENT DECISION FEELS THAT IT COULDN'T HAVE COME AT A WORSE TIME FOR ME. FACING BANKRUPTCY AND IN THE STATE I LIVE LAWS PROTECT THE CORPORATE STRUCTURE TO VALE OR SHIELD FROM ANY LEGAL BLOWBACK THAT COULD CHALLENGE THEIR DECISONS. PERSONALLY, IT BLINDSIDED ME BECAUSE I HAD WORKED 2 YRS CONTRACTING AND GOT CONVERTED INTO A GREAT REGULAR POSITION AS A PROJ ANALYST... WELL, THAT WAS IN NOVEMBER. EIGHT MONTHS LATER LOOK HOW BAD THINGS HAVE GOTTEN. I AM STRUGGLING TO PAY RENT, CAR PAYMENTS, THE WHOLE NINE... WHAT I WAS WATCHING THEM SPEAK ABOUT ON ALL THOSE FAVORITE POLITICAL SHOWS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, AND OTHER AREAS WHERE CORPORATIONS ARE MOVING TOWARDS GLOBAL ETRADE/LABOR.

FRIGHTENING IS WHAT IT IS.

WELL, HOPEFULLY I WILL BACK AT WORK IN A WEEK OR SO. DON'T TAKE GOV'T HANDOUTS AND I'M SHREKING AT THE THOUGHT OF A HOMELESS SHELTER BECAUSE THAT IS A REALITY FOR A WORKING MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN. ONE PAYDAY AWAY FROM DISASTER. THANK GOD FOR FAITH! WHICH I HAVE PLENTY, ONE THING ABOUT BEING POOR OR GROWING UP HAVING TO SACRIFICE, IT NEVER LEAVES YOUR INNER SPIRIT. WHAT DON'T KILL YOU ONLY MAKES YOU STRONGER AND I AM IN A FIGHT BUT GUESS WHAT, I'M A WINNER!

:) SO I STAY INFORMED AND I GET INVOLVED **)

I'M ONE OF THOSE REAL AMERICAN'S WITH VALUES PRINCIPLES AND WANT TO SEE GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION WORK FOR ALL EVENLY, THESE CORPORATIONS HAVE TO MUCH PROTECTION. UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ARE COMPLEX FOR MID-LEVEL EMPLOYEES AND OFTEN DELAYED FOR PENALTIES W/O ANY ALLOWANCES GIVEN TO FINANCIAL NEED OR CIRCUMSTANCE. JUST BASIC GUIDELINES....

I HAVE TO REMAIN POSITIVE AND PARTICIPATE IN MY FUTURE.

PRAY FOR ME.
