Heh
The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Thats about right. Two months ago I had a job and my credit score was 772. I got laid off with no severance or prospects and my score is now 822.
BTW: nobody wants to hire a 56 year old gray headed man with 35+ years experience. "They can't afford me" as one HR recruiter told me.
Go freelance. Money is good, bennies suck, but at least you don't have to deal with office politics (much).
