JAGG,

Poor choices?
Maybe I should have refused a severance package from my teamster
job and maybe one day they would have eventually called me back.
Which would have been great had they called me in for 4 hours of
work because I would then be paid for 40 hours .The weeks they don't call you in,
you get nothing.

Starting over today is not like it was ,starting over 5 or 10 years ago,
I can assure you of that .

At 45 ,I may have been hired for jobs that now wont hire a 50 year old.
I will be fine .I know this somehow but there are people out there who
are 60 and people with less skills who wont be hired for anything but
part time minimum wage jobs (if they find work at all)
They drive a hooptie and decide feeding
their kids takes priority over fucking car insurance. I agree with them,it is.

It's like having no compassion for someone with a back injury until you
have one yourself ,its impossible to really relate maybe until you live it.

It's very easy to judge poor people until you become one.
I used to do the exact same thing maybe not to the level of
your recent posts but close.
