I know that as long as I don't do anything stupid like smoke weed or rack up DUIs, I'm going to have a job each morning and this job provides health care to my family and the pay isn't too bad. It's nice to not have the stress of wondering each day if there's going to be a "you've been downsized" notice waiting for me when I arrive at work.
Very smart...I was downsized in Feb of 08 (after 16 years)and still have not found a job. Although it is in the freight industry, import/export. Too old to start something new.
