The poet T.S.Eliot nailed it with his observation that "April is the cruelest month." I'm not certain whether he was referring to the tax deadline, the shitty weather, rising fuel prices, psoriasis flare-ups, or lack of employment, but I can identify with the feeling. April starts with the promise of wonderous new beginnings. It sucks you in, seduces you with dreams of verdant spring and just when you think you can get an early jump on the garden, April leaves you cold and wet with little to do but watch the 9/11 hearings. Hey, I am not interested in finger pointing about 9/11. I am much more concerned with the intel that made us attack Iraq. I want to know about the UN corruption that put $3 Billion dollars into Saddam's bank accounts during the Oil-For-Food program.
I learned yesterday that my old company has laid off another large group of people. Suddenly, and cruelly, the axe fell without warning.
Where are all those new jobs?
