Our union renegotiated this year and had to temporarily close the "early retirement" window due to the economy, frustrating all of us near-entry-level types who need the boomers to retire already so we can move the hell up to a living wage. Sigh.

I’ve also been told this is a terrible year to be looking because nobody who was ready to retire can afford to now that their 401(k)s have crashed, so they’re staying put, which means nobody else can move up, which means the entry-level jobs don’t open up.

There's also the three universities; I'll keep an eye on the library in mine, and send you anything that pops up.

Those kinds of worries are the worst, not to mention the most expensive. We've had a very bad year ourselves, animal-health-wise, with our big dog Carmine breaking his leg in a compound spiral fracture that required two steel plates to repair, losing our beloved young Pitbull Winston in a freak mail-truck accident, losing our beloved elderly Labrador Mo (she was 16, which is pretty amazingly old for a big Lab), and last month, having Marley Cat spend a week at the vet's on a prednisone drip for near-fatal hepatitis. Cats are amazing healers, though. I bet Sugarplum makes a full recovery. I send good thoughts your way. Oh Zuzu, I’m sorry about your kitty Sugarplum’s troubles.
