Friends and ex-coworkers are very slow to return phone calls or emails, like they're scared your joblessness will rub off on them. Then I come to my senses and realize they have lives and fears/concerns of their own. It's a battle not to make yourself totally crazy. It gets tougher everyday to stay positive.

The work-addicted boomers will not retire b/c their retire funds are severely hurt plus their identities are their jobs (pathologic), the recent college grad will find very few real job prospects other than coffee making, fax printing, and cleaning office refrigs. Welcome to the new USA, and your parents' basement. This gentleman probably represents most “college” grad with no/very few employment prospects whatsoever.
