Washington DC 2009


Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Photos from my trip to Washington. Because I was there on business, I only had a few hours to see the sights. 9th Grade US history review: Can you name all the historic monuments I visited?

I Just Got Laid

Off that is. Yes, that’s right I’ve involuntary joined the ranks of 11.1 million unemployed Americans. You can label it what you want laid off, down-sized, let go, axed, terminated, canned, dismissed...Fired! It is all the same I no long have any place to be 9-5 Monday - Friday.

Am I worried? Yes. Am I going to be depressed and come to hate everyone and everything in this world? No. I’m actually relieved. Now it looks like I can take as much time as I like over the holiday season.

Looks like I'll need to put this documentary on my Netflix que --- Fired!
