Re: [Avid-L2] Another one bites the dust...

 

Impossibly horrible. I've been looking around my house lately, and connecting with the fact my little suburban rancher would be considered paradise by many folks on this planet. I may not always get the work I want, but boy, am I grateful to have what I do.

Ya, we all see that coming. But this story is still a bummer:

====
Family moves cross-country for nonexistent Digital Domain job

"We were about five minutes before the exit to get here, and we got this phone
call from our relocation specialist, the lady who helped us find this apartment
for the next 29 days," said Aaron. "She goes, 'Have you talked to HR yet?' I'm
like, 'No, why?' thinking, is this going to be bad, is this going to be bad?"

It was worse than either of them could have imagined: word of a company closure.
Now, they're trying to figure out how to live on the only $200 they have left.
