On January 20, 2009, the United States inaugurated a president who seems a beacon of better times to come. Barack Obama will end the recession, end all wars, and end racial injustice once and for all. Well, maybe. But what is real is that, for now, the country is swept up in a feeling of optimism, hope, excitement, even motivation to do our part, pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and do the right and necessary things.
The day before the inauguration, I got laid off from my job. I'm sure this is not big news; several people at my company were laid off with me, and layoffs continue to happen across the technology sector. (Microsoft layoff rumors abound...) And while I have no delusions that President Obama will turn things around on a dime and start the next technology boom, just in time for me to get swept up in it, I do wonder:
When's my next gig?
What is it?
