Hell March
2008 had been, to my way of thinking, one of the worst years I'd experienced. I'd jumped from one set of industries, (online recruitment advertising for a major newspaper), to financial services. By the end of the year, I was wistful for my old salary, and the simple complications of people not wanting to buy from me. 2009 has made all that look like a cakewalk...
This has been one of the most challenging years of my life. Personally, professionally, financially, etc. And I'm joined by millions of others who have had to trek through this same hell. Blame can be thrown many directions, but the fact of the matter is that when it all comes down to it, it still doesn't help us day to day. So my words of total wisdom and complete knowledge? Survive. Do what you have to do. Work three jobs. Max the cards out then make outlandish promises to the credit card companies*. Raid your retirement savings*. Borrow from friends*. Do what you need to. Not because I'm some blind optimist, but because it will allow you to fight another day. When the sharks circle, you can have one of two attitudes - 1. I'm fucked, and fish food, or 2. About time lunch was served...
Tough times don't last. Tough people do. Make sure you're one of them....
