This Stinks
Maggie Beaux
Jobless almost a year,
Resume, resume, resume
after resume
No one calls
What did I do wrong?
My job is now in the Philippines
I called for help but couldn't cut through the accent
Maybe I'll have to move to
Manila
And work for pennies instead of dollars
Almost homeless equals living with parents at 53
Broke..no unemployment insurance left, divorced, can't live with my grown children. Can't afford to be an alcoholic or addict. Can't even be a whore:
Too old and ugly to walk the streets
Not even hired by McDonald's
This stinks
Thanks corporate America for sending jobs offshore.
I hope your yacht sinks
