Wooing, I don't want to move back to San Francisco either. I'm pretty distraught over this latest development, but I don't know what else to do. The economy is terrible and out of work lawyers have flooded the market. Remember the bloodbath that recently happened at Latham? While the layoffs were shocking in number, it wasn't unusual. Two major law firms dissolved in 2008, and most firms have already engaged in one or more rounds of layoffs (including my old firm) ... so, there's just a lot of us sitting around.
If I had known we were on the brink of a major recession, I would not have quit at the very beginning of it. Go figure, eh? I actually read the other day that the recession began sometime at the end of 2007, so on the upside, I can continue to claim that I am officially a trend setter. Unemployment is sooooo in season right now.
I know May is pretty soon, but I think I will have tapped out of every penny I have access to in April ... so really, I'll be starting the move in April. I am holding out hope for a couple of employment opportunities that are in the works, but its pretty competitive and I'm kind of high risk ... apparently, the whole not-working-for-over-a-year is bad for the resume. Dude, that just means I'm really well-rested and charged up to work again ... a total positive, right?
Anyway, on to happier subjects: chocolate. I'm thinking a chocolate molten cake with a Ferrero Rocher in the middle of it ... it'll be gooey and hazel nutty ... yum! Or, a Toblerone-filled molten cake ... which will be made in your honor since you're Joey (remember that episode where he kept eating it?). Wait, since I'm unemployed these days, does this make me Joey now? Oh, financial stability ... why are you evading me?
