Well I just found out that Portland Parks and Recreation has cut the entire Senior Services and Disabled Services programs. My mom works as a recreation leader for Senior Services. Aside from this being a completely horrible prospect for seniors, many of whom are otherwise almost totally isolated, and mentally disabled people, my mom might lose her job. There is a chance that she can downsize back to being a secretary and move to a different department because she has seniority. Despite, she is very distraught at losing a job that she loves. I'm scared. This is the first time the recession has really hit home seriously. My dad has a temporary job until next month that he may or may not be hired back for, my mom might not have a job and my job ends in February.

Lame.

At the concept of my entire family being out of work I suddenly seriously appreciate my job that I'm otherwise not excited about going to.
