Life in a not so Technicolor Glass

I just finished chatting with a random individual about life for a bit (this is what I do periodically), and we were discussing jobs. I myself will be losing my job in literally a few hours (which for the record does suck) and this gentleman is assuming his fate is the same. My job loss is a bit more of an "oh know not another retail store" so its not as dramatic as this gentleman's fate. Granted, losing my mediocre retail job sucks tremendously because my flow of income has just been dammed (literally if we're staying with the figurative metaphors) however this gentleman has spent his life at his profession.

He is/was a pharmecutical person of some sort, he mentioned his plant being shut down so I'm going to make a guessumption that he was either a chemist or a pharmecutical engineer of sorts. But as we continued our conversation it went like this,

"So why is your plant closing" Said I
"Its cheaper to make them abroad" Said Pharmecutical Chemgineer
"What about the quality factor, will it be the same" Said I
"It doesn't matter... it'll never be the same again" Said PCneer
"Why" Said Angelo Orlando Valle Alonso 1
"The world just keeps changing, it'll never be the same" said he

The world never being the same again.

Is this bad? I haven't figured out yet. But this economic dilemna continues to become more and more real to me especially in my unusual blogging locale.

I'm curious to see what the rest of the day holds. I'll be back soon to ramble.

I'm going through "Blue Like Jazz" and its challenging my perspective completely. The need to be a certain denomination is fading, the need to fear failure is changing, the need for a plan is fading.

Its quite liberating. Thank You Donald Miller.
