Another morning of washing dishes
and litter boxes. Another afternoon of looking for birds.
Another evening with Indian food and a meeting. On the
way home I listened to The Connection on WBUR talking
about The
Jobless Recovery.
Basically, the Gross Domestic Product is growing but so
is the unemployment rate. Recovery without creating jobs.
And at least according to the folks who were on this
show, it's going to be about 2 years before job growth
increases and hell will freeze over before there are good
jobs for workers over 50. So I guess I should have dashed
right in when I saw the Help Wanted sign at Croteau's
Bait and Tackle down the street from the cat shelter. I
wonder if I'm overqualified to sell bait...
