Wishing you all the luck in the world in getting back on your feet Nathan. I'm sure after the initiative you've shown people will come forward with work for you. I see it's already been posted on Facebook a few times.

I made a donation to the Oregon City shelter and Shepherds of Good Hope in Ottawa, Canada, after reading news reports of "Freedom Convoy" protesters harassing Shepherds of Good Hope staff on January 29, 2022. Very uncool.
The theme for this week's Macro Monday's group is "Life is Hard". And well it is for lots of folks we know right now. Though we are doing okay, I know or know of more and more people who are losing their jobs. Looking for work for some has become their current job, so to speak, and so I thought of them and tried to visualize one way of capturing that in a Macro. If you have an opportunity please visit the group pool for many other very creative images for this week's theme or consider entering one yourself!
This is the first of 2. I'll upload the second one on Monday as I can.
Day 9 of 365 – HELP WANTED
My cell phone rang this morning as I walked into work. It was my Contracting company letting me know that their client terminated my contract effective today. I could go on for days about the horrible circumstances and rant about the people involved however it would do any good. When I finally came to peace and the rant was complete, I would still be unemployed. Leaving today was bitter sweet. Bitter because I love my job, bitter because.....well let's just say because and leave it at that. Tomorrow is a new day filled with a plethora of opportunity and wonderful possibilities. I guess you could say I've reached the next "crossroads" of life.
Keep your head up!

Subject - Myself and the LA Times
...when you get a call,
...the week before Christmas,
...at 2:00 in the afternoon,
...on a Tuesday,
...from the company HR Manager,
...who lives in a different state,
...and he says he'll be at your office in an hour.
Such was our story a few weeks ago when my dear hubby called and said he was coming home from work early. His company re-structured and his job was eliminated. So now we're back in the job market looking for gainful employment, and my days as a Stay at Home Mom may be numbered.
My apologies dear Flickr Friends for not being as involved in all your beautiful photo streams lately - but we're down to one computer and I'm pretty sure the "supportive wife handbook" says I shouldn't complain when hubby is using it to search for a job.
On the POSITIVE side of thing:
1) My dear one has amazing skills, interviews well, and makes a good first impression
2) We live in a big city with plenty of opportunities
3) He received a fair severance package, so we're not destitute yet.
4) We don't live extravagantly, have a fairly low mortgage payment and both our cars are paid off.
5) Savings doesn't have to be saved for retirement
6) We're willing and able to relocate if needed
7) I was a pretty sharp cookie in my day and I'm sure I could get a job - gulp - if I had to.
8) My sweet husband has a calm personality and a positive outlook that is totally contagious
9) I don't eat when I'm stressed, so I didn't gain my usual Holiday extra pounds
I have faith it will all work out OK in the end.
The photograph of the bus stop/shelter was taken in Windhoek on the 25th of May 2009. Although Africa Day was a public holiday many young men were out looking for work, like the one pictured.
The message on the bus stop itself is ironic, firstly as there are no buses on a public holiday and secondly because the final slogan from one of our cellular networks which says “get connected”, although very clever, makes no difference to this young man.
Poverty and living below the breadline is a stark reality as we celebrate Africa Day, many of it’s people can barely feed themselves let alone own a cell phone and other ‘desirable’ things, that are often punted on buses, bus stops etc.
I chose to photograph the subject from a low angle in black and white to emphasize this reality.
The inspiration i get from this Young man is the willingness to work even on a holiday. He was happy and positive despite obvious hardship.

We purchased this drawing in New York City from a lovely gallery lady who had known Isabel very well, and we were told that our drawing is a man reading "in Union Square" where Ms. Bishop would REGULARLY go to sketch. Now, years later, I go onto Google and search the words: Smithsonian interview Isabel bishop. You will find the interesting Union Square / Isabel Bishop little story there that she told in her ORAL HISTORY interview. ENJOY!
This is the mountain of paperwork and job leads I got from Goodwill today when I went for a one on one interview. They're helping me conduct my job hunt.

I photographed this at the Poppy Festival in Lancaster, California near to where we live in Hollywood, California. It was an art show and this guy happened to stand a long time in front of this painting and I stood a long time photographing him as he HELD ON...
NOTE BUG ON HER SHOULDER... maybe he was remembering something about his childhood in the forest (he seems to like WILD NATURE in greens and dark reds)

A writer, William Burroughs, said in an interview, "I've recently done a lot of experiments with SCRAPBOOKS. ... I'll be walking down the street and I'll suddenly see a scene and I'll PHOTOGRAPH IT and put it in a scrapbook." He includes in his scrapbook not just the photograph but WHAT HE WAS THINKING ABOUT at the moment he saw the SCENE, what he was thinking about WHILE HE TOOK THE PHOTO, what MEMORIES the scene brought into his mind when he saw it, and he even includes what he had been READING just BEFORE HE SAW the scene, and what WORDS he wrote right after photographing the IMAGE. /// A TOTAL OBSERVATION OF LIFE AS IT EXISTS... MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS OF INPUT.
HE CALLS ALL OF THIS SCRAP-BOOKING "time travel" , taking ALL of the scraps of information SURROUNDING the photograph "to see how completely I can project myself back to that ONE POINT IN TIME."

This is Magritte's "Hegel's Holiday (Les Vacances de Hegel)" 1958 ... he had in his book collection the works of Hegel and this book says that, "Hegel's dialectical method is in line with Magritte's own DISCIPLINE OF THOUGHT"... Magritte often speaks of "the absolute thought" (which also comes from Hegel) Magritte did experimental research into THE ESSENCE OF VISIBLE THINGS"

AKA The Recession, AKA The Credit Crunch.
Personally , I prefer the Recession. It's got more of an eighties feel to it.
The woman's clipboard said "Looking For Work ?" and she was walking up and down Queen Street occasionally sitting down and waiting to be approached.

THIS RED IS AS MYSTERIOUS AS is the new word I learned today re the internet:
TORRENTING ... passing large amounts of data from peer-to-peer

is the earth turning round, as it does each day, and my friend, THAT is a true mystery!

These men were seated on a sidewalk in Old Gurgaon, hoping that somebody will offer them laborers jobs.
It's another fortnight for me, and it's time to stand in the queue to hand in a form for the "Dole". Money is getting less because I'm working a little bit more this fortnight due to me filling in for someone at work.
I hadn't mentioned the Smiths lived in a Basement,common residences in Leo Street Peckham in East London. Reading about this families story brings home what affect the later War had on this family? Here his wife passes the front door key though to him after his day out looking for work.
