RIP, Circuit City




After 8 1/2 years of service, my employment with Circuit City will end (around March 16-21st). I learned a tremendous amount about customer support, electronics, technology, and writing during my tenure. I never thought what was once the #1 electronics retailer in the United States would one day close its doors for good. I had hoped for a career until retirement with CC.

But, with the economy as it is, and retail as well as other major job markets struggling, we all have to move on. So, remaining employees have 60 days left of employment. I don't question my skills or marketability; I question the fact that 2 million or so others just like me, many more skilled, are also out there looking.

Here's hoping for that miracle, for us all.
Good Luck Obama; you have the hardest job in the world right now.

To the truly heartless customers who wrote in (there were many) and said, "I hope you go out of business," I hope God forgives you for your attitude, because I don't.

Good Luck to everyone at CC! Some of my favorite people in the world, I met there.
Here's hoping we all end up in better opportunities.
