luscious_purple: Ganked from many people (damn not given)
It was 15 years ago today that I got canned from a job just about three months before I would have been vested in the company pension plan. If you were/are friends with me on LJ, you can go look up the friends-locked post from March 15, 2004.

Of course, the anniversary prompted a dream last night. My boss from that era, Frosty Lady, was not giving me any work to do, and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be writing articles from a community-newspaper perspective or a business-to-government (B2G) rag perspective, so I wasn't writing anything.

In other news ... I am sad to read that the Maryland Food Co-op/Collective is closing its doors in May. (This is the one at the Stamp Student Union at the University of Maryland, *not* the food co-ops in Greenbelt, Takoma Park, or Mount Rainier.) When I was a grad student, the refrigerated bean and bean-and-cheese burritos, handmade at the co-op, made many a cheap and easy meal for me. I still have a coffee mug from the collective's 20th anniversary in 1995. It proudly bears the slogan: "Food for People, Not for Profit."

Speaking of profit ... I need to get back to work.
