While I have been able to earn some money from moonlighting work over the past 18 months since I was downsized from my last job, I have collected unemployment compensation the whole time. I've applied for about 160 jobs; I've had a couple dozen telephone screenings by HR departments; and I've had a relative handful -- 7 or 8 -- in-person interviews. I'm still looking. I'm also looking in places other than the confuser field...my wife even says that I should consider getting back into radio.
Just today I was checking the Wisconsin unemployment web site. I noted that the office and the phone lines will be shut down tomorrow as a furlough day and, of course, on Labor Day.
Then I saw this and I had to smile ruefully:

Re: This was humbling and ironically humorous
Thanks, Scott. Girl Choir rehearsals are starting up on 9/13. Eleanor is now in Intermezzo. Janet will continue to play accompaniment for both Allegretto and Intermezzo. And Karen Bruno is the new Director of the Lawrence Academy of Music...not just the Girl Choir, but the whole shebang.
