Real Life

The Kid got laid off again today.In other words, that's three jobs in 13 months. It's got to be some kind of record, really. I feel for him but I don't know what to do to help him out - it's not like I'm in a position to help out. A few months ago, yes, but now? The Kid graduated from one of the top universities in this country with a bachelors in comp sci. Two years ago, it looked like he had it made. When he told me the news this evening, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I honestly thought he was kidding, playing around. But he wasn't. He's unemployed. Again. This last job? Lasted exactly a month.
