Today I Lost My Job

Today I lost my job I'm not going to despair So don't expect me to feel sorry for myself 'Cause today I lost my stress And all the troubles of my life I'm going to rise again Far greater than I was before Today I lost my job I'm not going to cry So don't expect me to breakdown 'Cause today I lost my burden And everything that is holding me down I'm going to bounce back Far better than I used to be Today I lost my job I'm not going to die So don't expect me to kill myself 'Cause today I break free from my bondage And every obstacle around me I'm going to make it Far beyond expectation.

GREAT attitude. My husband actually quit his job last month because he could not take it any more. He has been looking for local work ever since and it's not panning out so he will have to go back to the old company (who still want him back) If you don't mind driving all your life away in a semi truck, that is the one job anybody can get easily! Good luck in your job search. Did you hear about the poor employees of Twinkies!! Right before xmas too.
