Ah dear readers, the economic crisis has hit yours truly as much as any other middle class BA grad. After six long goddamned months of unemployment in lovely Montreal, I cannot find a suitable (ie, paying) outlet for my talents and vast bile-spewing intellect. No, the market here is tanking fast, jobs are getting scarcer, and the competition for positions is fierce. So I'm off to my homeland of New Brunswick, the land of cheap real estate, lobster, Acadian flags, and so-called defeatist attitudes. My lack of posts in the last week are due to my running around getting things organized for my move, and squaring up my debts before my friends start thinking about breaking my legs.
The next time you hear from me, I will be in an undisclosed location somewhere in the wilds of New Brunswick, preparing for the zombie holocaust. Erm, I mean I will be living somewhere in NB trying to eke out a living doing whatever it is that I do. I'm feeling positive about a change, because I've been shat on for a while here in Montreal, so it's time for a new start somewhere else, where my credentials actually have value and I don't have to mud-wrestle every BA this side of Toronto to get a job serving donuts. I'll miss you, Montreal, but you aren't doing anything to help me stay.
I.A.
