I just read an e-mail from my friend.  After what seemingly was several years, he was either let go or fired from his job.  I don't know how much it paid, but it looked like it was stable, and it sustained him.

I just went with him to the Lynx game Monday.  We even talked about the temp assignment I started last week.  Fucking ironic.

Worst of all, he is not young, and he isn't in the best of health.  Goddamn, why did his employer do this?  More importantly, what can he do now?
