Times are hard.

Here's your fucking Christmas card.

Merry christmas to my christian friends.

1. Merry f-ing Christmas, Hoot!

[Kennah]

2. Ho, fucking, ho

I feel your pain, although I might be months behind you. Here's my soon to be unemployed haiku.

Laid off in five weeks.
Not many hopeful prospects.
Van means roof above.

3. I remember that from the early 80s recession

Faxed and copied to the max. It folded into quarters to make a 'card'. There was a drawing of Santa flipping the bird on the front.

4. We have a winner!

That's exactly where I got it.

5. I was just thinking about that the other day.

Back then, I had a steady pay check from Uncle Sam. This year, I've worked four and a half weeks. I could use a few copies of that now. We're getting by though. A lot better off than many. Merry Christmas to you, Hoot. Hope all is well.

6. I'm totally tapped out.

If I don't land work next month, I'll be on the street.

It's funny how things from the 80's recession come back to mind. It wasn't nearly this bad then, but I also had a government related job.
