I feel like I've been stabbed with a sword dipped in FEAR! What could be worse? I'm not even dead. They have given me a number and taken away my NAME! Chief Photographer..The look of astonishment is still molded on my unbelieving face. I was given 30 days notice as was the whole newsroom. Management was closing us down. Fair amount of warning everyone may think. Hello, they could of just shot everyone where they stood and WHAMMO-GONE-GOOD BYE- HASTA LA VISTA-SIANARA-SEE YA SUCKER! That's it. IT is O-V-E-R..Done. All is fair in love war and TV news. All at will employees please take one step closer to your financial security blanket and watch it BURN! Toast! The maddness, the HORROR of forced UNEMPLOYMENT! Learnin the government handout,shuffle dance, in 4-4 time. "Next please," the raspy, invisible voice, of a crow caws. My mind is as numb as a bottle of tranquilizers. I am having an out of body experience, standin in this line. No, my "CAMERA BRAIN" is racing around the UNEMPLOYMENT office, shooting ANGLES, CLOSEUPS of people, of ME! My CAMERA has been taken away! Now I stand alone to face the day... No black and white viewfinder image to check my ZBARS on, No house fires or hurricanes cold and hot, No feeding DEADLINE video from a parking lot, The clock is ticking till I get home, the sounds of silence creep into my cellphone, no deadlines left to meet or awake me from my dreams, I know not if it"s dark outside or light....FINI
