First Blood

As with so many before me, this is a new experience for me. It is intriguing, and I will see where it takes me.

Since my return to the San Francisco Bay Area from Buffalo, NY, I have been looking for work, to no avail. The economy is still in the toilet, regardless of the rosy picture the Bush Administration has painted for us. While there are many jobs available in my profession (Accounting), there are so many out-of-work accountants that prospective firms can pick and choose those candidates that match their interests and requirements exactly. Add to that the obvious age discrimination factor, and job searching has become a full-time job itself, with little encouragement.

I haven't given up hope and my faith in God sustains me throughout. I hope I will be able to add to this in not too many days hence a better report.
