"Irony               of               ironies,               all               is               irony"               has               become               my               motto               in               my               three-year               job               hunt,               with               apologies               to               Ecclesiastes.
The               very               same               day               that               I               accepted               this               assignment,               I               finally               heard               on               my               job               application               to               the               Library               of               Congress.

I               had               applied               to               the               Library               of               Congress               sometime               at               the               end               of               summer               2009.

In               September,               optimistic               about               my               chances               of               finding               employment               with               the               federal               government,               I               had               moved               to               Washington,               D.C.

to               do               an               internship               with               the               National               Whistleblower               Center,               where               my               skills               as               a               legal               editor               and               as               a               blogger               could               be               put               to               some               use.
               I               finally               heard               from               them               after               a               wait               of               over               nine               months.
               We               regret               to               inform               you....
               I               have               now               been               unemployed               for               over               three               years.

For               the               seemingly               1,000               applications               I               have               made               in               that               time,               I               have               received               only               two               replies:               This               one               from               the               Library               of               Congress,               and               another               from               the               online               news               aggregation               site               The               Daily               Beast.

They               had               emailed               me               to               tell               me               that               the               job               I               had               applied               for               had               been               abolished.
               Iron               Man
               Forget               the               irony,               let's               talk               about               The               Iron               Man               of               Unemployment               Competition.
               About               the               time               I               was               applying               to               the               Library               of               Congress,               my               friend               Peetah,               with               whom               I               used               to               work               with               at               database               provider               Information               Access               Co.

of               Foster               City               back               in               the               heyday               of               Silicon               Valley,               on               finding               out               I               still               hadn't               landed               a               permanent               job               after               two+               years               of               trying,               asked               me               if               I               wasn't               making               a               bid               for               the               "Ironman               of               Unemployment"               title               currently               held               by               our               friend,               Big               Tommy.
               Big               Tommy,               a               professional               librarian,               had               gotten               the               blues               after               a               split-up               with               his               gal               pal               at               the               turn               of               the               new               millennium.

They               were               going               to               get               married,               but               she               wanted               kids,               and               he               didn't.

He               quit               his               job,               moved               in               with               his               mother               in               a               shack               on               the               Canadian               border,               and               hasn't               worked               since.
               He               does               get               a               small               pension               from               the               Social               Security               Administration,               for               being               mentally               or               emotionally               disabled.

The               last               time               I               saw               him,               around               Xmas               time,               what               had               seemed               to               us               like               a               well-meaning               scam,               to               get               that               pension,               had               morphed               into               the               real               thing.
               I'm               not               one               of               those               people               who               gets               comfort               from               the               travails               of               people               who               are               worse               off               than               I               am.

But               I               do               suffer               from               high               levels               of               anxiety.

I               have               been               ignoring               Tommy               Boy's               letters               (he               doesn't               believe               in               late               20th               Century               technology               like               email)               after               I               left               the               District               of               Columbia               with               the               new               year.
               The               irony               of               Peetah's               question               is               that               several               months               after               he               asked,               he               was               laid               off.

I               haven't               gotten               a               reply               to               any               of               my               emails               to               him               since.
               Laid               Off
               Peetah               and               I               were               first               laid               off               from               our               jobs               at               IAC               back               in               2003,               when               the               lot               of               us               were               sacked               and               our               jobs               outsourced               to               India.

IAC               had               been               the               leading               database               provider               in               the               world,               and               we               had               worked               as               content               editors,               creating               and               editing               "content"               to               go               into               that               database.
               In               the               1990s,               some               of               our               databases               cost               $600               an               hour               to               access.

Once               owned               by               Ziff-Davis,               we               were               sold               to               Thomson               Corp.,               the               huge               newspaper               chain               that               had               seen               the               future               and               determined               it               was               digital,               for               something               north               of               $300               million,               a               good               chunk               of               cash               in               the               mid-1990s.
               By               the               late               1990s               and               the               rise               of               graphical               browser               with               Netscape,               IAC               was               under               siege.

In               the               days               before               Netscape,               searching               what               was               then               not               even               called               The               Information               Superhighway               meant               Boolean               searchs               on               a               green               or               amber               screen.

No               graphics.
               With               Netscape               and               the               boom               in               Internet               search               came               the               new               paradigm               that               has               buffeted               the               information               industry               ever               since:               The               "users"               wanted               everything               for               free.
               By               the               fall               of               2003,               the               part               was               over               for               the               employees               at               IAC,               including               me               and               Peetah.

We               had               gone               through               wave               after               wave               of               layoffs               since               the               late               '90s,               and               now               it               was               out               turn.

In               my               own               words,               we               were               "unceremoniously               $#!%canned,               our               jobs               packed               off               to               India.

(We               had               started               outsourcing               to               India               in               the               early               1990s:               We               had               been               the               pioneers.)
               I               had               been               with               the               company               for               14               years.
               Peetah               took               the               opportunity               to               go               get               a               master's               in               divinity               from               the               Unitarian-Universalist               Church,               but               for               some               reason,               perhaps               a               disagreement               over               dogma,               he               was               never               ordained.
               We               friends               kidded               him               that               it               must               be               that               he               believed               in               god               that               got               him               the               sack               from               the               Unitarians.
               All               was               not               lost               as               at               grad               school,               he               met               the               woman               who               would               be               his               wife.

They               had               two               children.

He               eventually               got               a               job               as               a               content               editor               at               a               New               England               information               company.

The               news               to               the               former               employees               (we               keep               in               touch               after               all               these               years)               astounded               the               only               one               of               us               left               with               the               parent               company,               who               couldn't               believe               that               any               information               company               in               the               United               States               was               hiring               any               domestic               staff.
               He               is               now               in               his               early               50s               and               unemployed,               with               two               small               children.
               After               I               was               laid               off,               I               eventually               worked               my               way               up               the               ladder               from               a               $7/hr               job               at               a               testing               company               in               California               to               a               $15/hour               position,               but               a               scandal               broke               when               the               company               was               found               to               have               fudged               test               results               at               the               request               of               one               of               the               big               states               who               were               trying               to               meet               the               new               "No               Child               Left               Behind"               standards.
               I               never               got               the               permanent               job               I               had               hoped               for,               as               they               laid               off               temporary               staff.

(A               friend               of               mine               who               was               doing               free-lance               work               for               the               same               company               was               laid               off               finally               last               year.)
               Eventually,               I               ran               out               of               money               and               was               living               in               my               old               Cadillac               on               the               beach               at               Carmel-by-the               Sea.
               It               was               back               East               for               me,               after               my               sister               and               step-mother               sent               me               $1,000               each               for               the               trip!
               Legal               Editor               
               
               I               decided               to               move               to               a               river               town               in               Upper               State               New               York,               near               Tarrytown.

I               liked               the               idea               of               being               near               Sleepy               Hollow,               setting               of               the               Washington               Irving               story               that               was               one               of               my               favorite               tales               as               a               child.

An               old               Army               buddy               and               his               wife               lived               there,               and               I               soon               found               out               that               an               old               college               pal               lived               there               too.

I               was               just               45               minutes               from               my               father,               who               was               a               prostate               cancer               survivor               closing               in               on               80               years               old,               and               my               stepmother,               who               was               17               years               his               junior               and               nearing               retirement               age.
               I               had               never               seen               much               of               my               father               during               my               life,               and               this               would               be               a               chance               of               not               only               getting               closer,               but               of               helping               him               (and               my               stepmother)               as               they               made               their               life               transition,               with               her               retirement.
               Near               the               apartment               I               rented               was               a               legal               publisher               with               a               name               that               rang               a               bell               with               me               as               it               was               evocative               of               one               of               my               favorite               novels.

I               was               extremely               upbeat               and               positive               in               those               days,               and               I               knew               I'd               get               a               job               there.

One               day,               reading               the               local               paper,               I               saw               they               were               hiring.
               I               applied.
               I               had               been               a               Russian               linguist               in               the               military,               and               the               "boss"               had               studied               Russian               in               college.

We               hit               it               off               well,               and               I               was               offered               a               job               as               a               legal               editor,               which               I               accepted.
               I               was               now               a               legal               editor,               though               I               had               no               background               in               the               law.

But               an               editor               is               an               editor,               and               I               had               been               working               with               words               for               decades,               even               in               the               Army,               and               I               picked               up               the               new               skill               set               required               of               the               job               fairly               quickly.

And               became               a               good               one,               too.
               But               fate               intervened.

My               stepmother               came               down               with               pancreatic               cancer               and               my               father's               health               fluctuated               with               hers.

If               she               had               a               good               day,               he               had               a               good               day;               if               she               had               a               bad               day....

When               she               died,               he               died               six               weeks               later.
               During               this               domestic               drama,               the               small               family               owned               publisher               I               worked               for               was               taken               over               by               the               biggest               publishing               company               in               the               world,               which               had               offices               in               New               York               City.

Two               things               quickly               became               apparent:               We               were               going               to               move               to               Manhattan,               and               there               was               not               going               to               be               any               boost               in               pay,               despite               the               fact               that               the               move               would               boost               most               of               the               employees'               expenses               by               $150/mo.
               There               was               also               frank               talk               by               the               new               company               of               how               the               editing               functions               of               the               entire               organization               were               being               shipped               out               to               India.

The               specter               of               another               job               lost               to               South-Asian               subcontinent               loomed.

I               seriously               began               thinking               (again)               of               fulfilling               my               father's               wish               for               me               and               going               to               law               school,               even               though               I               was               now               in               my               late               40s.

               My               father's               health               deteriorated               so               rapidly               after               his               wife               went               into               the               hospice               I               gave               up               my               apartment               and               moved               in               with               him               across               the               Connecticut-New               York               border.

My               commute               was               45               minutes,               but               once               the               move               to               New               York               City               was               implemented,               it               was               going               to               be               two               and               one-half               hours               --               one               way.
               And               then               my               father               passed,               six               weeks               after               my               stepmother,               and               there               soon               came               a               day               that               I               had               used               up               all               my               vacation,               personal               days               and               family               leave.

               Each               month,               as               part               of               the               unemployment               insurance               process,               I               had               to               send               to               the               state               the               names               of               10               employers               I               contacted               that               month.

I               supplied               the               New               York               UI               Bureau               with               over               200               names,               which               became               increasingly               difficult               as               the               numbers               of               employers               hiring               editors               was               shrinking.
               I               applied               for               jobs               in               New               York,               Boston,               Washington,               D.C.,               Los               Angeles,               California,               the               Monterey               Bay               Area               and               even               back               in               Silicon               Valley/San               Francisco               Bay               Area.

I               expanded               my               job               search               from               various               permutations               of               editor,               including               a               job               I               wasn't               even               qualified               for,               technical               editor,               to               any               job               that               entailed               writing               skills,               like               public               relations.

So,               I               used               the               addresses               of               friends               and               families               in               the               geographic               areas               that               I               was               seeking               employment.

Which               were               legion.

Because               if               I               didn't               look               in               other               geographic               regions,               there               simply               wasn't               10               jobs               in               a               month               in               the               New               York               Metro               area               to               submit.
               The               broadening               of               my               horizons               didn't               help.

I               only               ever               got               two               acknowledgments               to               my               hundreds               of               submissions,               both               negative.

               I'd               like               to               get               back               into               that               positive               frame               of               mind               that               I               had               half-a-decade               ago,               when               I               walked               into               that               small               publishing               house               on               the               banks               of               the               Hudson               River               brimming               with               confidence,               just               knowing               I'd               get               that               job.

It's               a               special               place               you               have               to               will               yourself               into,               with               not               just               positive               thinking               but               with               an               actual               communion               with               a               higher               entity               or               life               force.
               Unfortunately,               the               discouragements               of               long-term               unemployment               can               being               a               person               to               begin               to               doubt               the               positive               intentions               of               that               higher               entity               or               life               force.

But               don't               you               believe               it.
