Unfortunately

Unfortunately, I was laid off Monday before last. My last day of work at the Conservancy was November 11, Veterans Day. I had to tell my mother that I had been laid off on her birthday (Nov.10). I was supposed to call her that day, but I knew if I did that she would be able to hear the hitch in my voice. So I could either not call her (on her birthday, of all days -_-) or call her and tell her the bad news. [sigh] I knew I had to call her, but it still sucked big time. The Conservancy is a non-profit, and the Wall St. fiasco trickled down to me in a “last hired, first fired” sort of situation. At least I wasn’t fired for doing a bad job, I guess, right?
I’m looking for work again. I’ll let you know if I have good news. Please pray for me. Or do whatever it is you do to garner favor with the gods.
I have a new idea

I’ve always been fascinated with the way people to things and why they do them. I’m going to—for a while—focus on the upturned collar… often callously known as the “popped collar.”
I hate popped collars. When I hear those words, I think of a drunk frat boy in a light pink polo shirt with the collar up saying things like “Bro, that’s so legit!” and trying to feel up naïve freshmen girls.
In contrast, upturned collars on jackets and coats strike me as elegant, lovely, and even classy.
So, in light of my contrasting views on the upturned collar, I started a new project over at Blogspot called The Upturned Collar. (I know—I’m a genius with names.) I’ll be posting one image per day of an upturned collar for as long as I can find unique images and I’m still interested in this idea (though I’ll probably let you all know here if the interest wanes). We’ll see how that goes.
Head on over there and let me know what you think.
On a side note, I got this idea from the song Let It Rock, by Kevin Rudolf; specifically, the first four lines read (italics mine):
I see your dirty face
High behind your collar
What is done in vain
Truth is hard to swallow
… and I was thinking that the first two lines are really beautiful, even if I’m not sure what they mean. It could be “I see your dirty face / Behind your high collar” but it’s not, so it’s lovely but confusing. It also could be “I see your dirty face / Hide behind your collar” and though that would make more sense, it’s not nearly as beautiful.
