However, I have been unemployed for two months, and I notice myself sliding towards being depressed each day, no matter how much I try to entertain and take-care of myself with the occasional movie, book, and/or snowboarding day. I’m really getting to understand that 80′s song sung by Simply Red called ‘Money Too Tight to Mention’.

I’ve been eating at home mostly of course instead of going out, and while cooking has been fun, eating badly cooked meals has made me cranky. And lowering the heat to save on heating bills; I can wear a sweater but my knees still ache. So cold has made me cranky.

Any suggestions on how to keep my spirits up?
I know attitude and how I meet people with that attitude is going to affect chances with my next interview.

Ben Stein’s article was a more interesting read. A bit harsh, but true nonetheless, because too many people have a poor work ethic.

It is really easy to actually want to take care of all of their potential hardships; to jump right in and fix them.

For the most part you just can’t do it. Once someone is an adult it is nearly impossible to teach integrity.

I discovered your blog about a month ago and have really enjoyed reading it. I look forward to reading your posts in the year to come. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you, Kris and all your fans. I look forward to read your new postings in the new year.

The Day after Christmas will be a good day to shop for bargains. That’s my blog story of the week

Best wishes,
