Do you hear that sound? That's the sound of my phone not ringing with someone offering me a new job that at least pays the paltry amount I've been paid until this afternoon, when I stop being paid. That's also the sound of my company's phone not ringing with the Money Fairy on the other end of the line. I hate looking for a job. I hate that I keep working for companies where I am looking for a job in short order after arriving.

The good news is that these days, when I'm out of work it's because the company couldn't make a go of it, not because I suck or was an asshole to people. I've finally grasped the value of shutting the hell up.
