Labor Day

Happy Labor Day, everyone.

I like holidays that are about thankfulness, so I'd like to take a moment to be thankful for the job-related boons in my life.

While I'm currently unemployed, having just moved to Portland, I know I'm employable because of the experience I gained teaching in Turkey, and I'm also in good shape financially because of my year of work in Turkey. I'm thankful that my friends and family have work and that they can live in a level of comfort.

These days there isn't much to be thankful about much to do with labor or employment, but I think it's important to try.
