I’ll be interviewing one of the newest of the newly unemployed this evening, my buddy Aaron next door who just got laid off today, and seeing a visiting friend, Jo, from back in the old days, when I was the Production Manager at Ballet Oregon, 20-some years ago and she was our premier soloist dancer, and now is an executive with the California-based catering company that feeds, quite elegantly, Nike and such. She no longer has to stick on false eyelashes to be the Queen of the Wilis or the Fairy Godmother and I don’t have to hang lights and drive trucks all night, and neither of us have to stay in crummy motels for our “art” and the pay is much better, too. Taking the long view for a moment here…. But neither Aaron, Jo or I are very sanguine about the economy, for different, but not unrelated, reasons.
More later on this CHNN station, and on CHNN News Overnight.
