My layoff buddy and I celebrated the first anniversary of our unemployment from the DNT yesterday. We were a few days late as the actual one-year mark occurred last Thursday.
A friend of ours, one of the few former colleagues who has kept in touch with us, took us out to lunch at Lake Avenue Cafe. (The salmon wild rice soup and three-variety mushroom pizza were delicious, by the way.)
Afterward, we poked our head into Grandma's Marketplace, a gift shop that's headed out of business where everything is 50 percent off. (I managed to buy three Hanukkah presents and a gift for my mother-in-law for under $12.)
While there, we offered advice on navigating the world of unemployment to the store's sales personnel who soon will be losing their jobs. Unfortunately, our newly acquired expertise is in demand.
Happy anniversary Karen, Bente, Tracy, Ann, Ryan, Matt and Steve.
