Mortgage Stress
I got a call from the mortgage company today at work. Since no one ever calls me at work this was odd.
I've been stressing because my work history for the last couple of years sucked, what with that whole year I was out of work and all. He didn't seem to think it was that big a deal, but I had to write up and explanation letter for the gap in employment. Here's a highlight of the letter:
"The job market in Southern California at the time was extremely weak, due to the souring economy. With many laid off tech workers from Silicon Valley moving south looking for work this created a heavily saturated job market. Then the events of September 11th 2001 made things that much worse. Hiring all but froze in most companies. All these factors made for the worst job market in 20 years."
I think that sums it up pretty well, don't you? Hopefully I can get all the paperwork to them by the end of the week and maybe have an answer next week. If it didn't make typing so hard I'd keep my fingers crossed until then...

Tell them you were a paid musician in a punk rock band during that time.
