A glimpse...

I barely realized that I had caught a glimpse...

It was almost three hours later, when I was thinking about it again, that I realized that I had almost had it!

So, times are tough.  There are a lot of unemployed people, the actual numbers... who knows!?  The way things are reported are so convoluted!  First time applicants vs. long term vs. under-employed vs. those not looking anymore...  I guess the bottom line is that if you need a job/income and have a job/income, be thankful!  It may not be exactly what you desire, but at least it's something!

A few years ago, I remember saying that "If I lost my job tomorrow, I would be willing to take a minimum-wage job doing whatever..." just to remain employed and have a minimal sustenance.  But a full-time minimum-wage job, amounts to an annual income above the poverty level, so I would not be eligible for any additional government assistance.

And the "crack," the "slip-through," the most used solution...  develops.

Does it suddenly becomes apparent?
