I was laid off about a year ago this week. During the time I spent looking for new employment, a thousand ideas went through my head for things I could do outside the world of advertising and design. Two videos from this post by Seth Godin have me wondering now what would I be doing here in February 2010 if I hadn’t been rehired in my field in May 2009. Are you doing what you love?

While my iMac went south I was without RSS communications for about a week or more. I missed the lemonade post. Since AppleCare fixed my mac I have been busy reinstalling my OS and all my feeds, software, etceteras.
Sorry to hear of your layoff. Employed yet? I loved my time in the design field, wouldn’t have done anything else. I’m really bored with retirement and may seek design jobs as a contract designer.
Good luck with the job search if you are still unemployed, it’s tough out there and will be for sometime to come.
BTW… My Grand daughter was in that surfing class.
I found another job in May of last year and have been here since then. Thanks for asking though!
Oh wow. Surfing looks like so much fun. It’s awesome that kids with CF are finding further health benefit there.
