    Hi,Jo,
           I know that it is really a hard time in your state.I am quite surprised that why the economic policy adopted by US government still cannot work .Unemployment is still rising.Maybe it needs a more practical policy and action to rescue the decling economy which  is  caused by such irresponsibe and greedy some large  investment banks' leaders who, I think, should
    be deprived of their properties to relieve the pending expenditure of    irrespective state government and to compensate  for the loss of their minor investors.I am so furious in this case.It is  so lucky you can earn  a living now by writing.Okay ,good luck for your job hunting!Take care!
    Happy weekend!

    Yeah,you are right ,fo SF is your hometown where live in your family and friends,But if for earning  a living ,you inevitably go with Sony to LA. unless you can find a job in SF.I beleive the economy will improve later and you now may accept  some temperary job which may not of   your  interest.As for me.I still live  my very simple life after retirement.  I really hope you will hunt a good job soon!Tkae care!

    Hi,Jo,
    I am quite sad to hear that Sony will leave you,but it is inevitable for her to develope her music business there.It seems the economic recession in USA has met the worse time and employment is said to be imoproved lately ,so you should patinetly wait for better chance for a new jon.In Hong Kong, unemployment is getting worse,not better than USA indeed.You should take it into consideration.Can you go with Sony to L.A ?Take care!
    Good Luck!
