As a newbie here I thought it would be a good idea to go back and read some of the older threads - sort of to get to know everyone. It's been a lot of fun. I'm impressed with the number of folks working in the creative fields. As for myself, I was unemployed for several months until recently, when I got a position as a research analyst at the university here - which is what I was doing before I was laid off! Same title, same university, different department. Life is funny sometimes. But I am happy and grateful to be back.

I sincerely hope that the folks who posted months ago who were unemployed have since found jobs. I know how hard it is being unemployed; beyond the obvious financial difficulties, it can take a real toll on one's self-esteem. For those still looking, I wish them the best of luck.

I work in a mirror factory and reflect a lot.

Actually, I own a chain of tree surgeon's offices, but I've had to cut some of my branches.

No, I really sell razors to Amish men...and boy is it a tough way to earn a living!

As for myself, I am the recent, yet old college graduate who is now a SCARY Auditor working for a CPA firm that specializes in government and not-for-profit organizations. I was offered a job with the IRS, but I didn't want to be that hated! And I hate taxes...
