Flipping burgers?

The latest employment numbers indicate that only 36,000 non-farm jobs were lost in February. So, the unemployment rate essentially stayed the same at 9.7%. But many are coming to the end of their benefits. The underemployed and those who have given up pushes the rate to 17%. During the great Depression, the rate was 25% - one out of 4 Americans were out of work. There is an upside though. First and most important is the increased time that can be spent on personal relationships. As my presence on the Internets indicate, I have lots of time. Another benefit is the lack of time constraints. No time clock. I have read many books, one of my favorite pastimes. All this time has provided opportunities to become involved in the local music scene. And given me incentive to pick up the guitar a little more often. Although a honorable job, flipping burgers isn't in the stars.
