<![CDATA[The View From Your Recession: Checking Back In]]>This reader was an underemployed ex-paralegal who had moved to New Hampshire to be closer to her girlfriend. Original post here. The reader writes:

Well, I bounced between my retail job (no hours over the summer but I'm up to my ears now), another part-time job with a family-owned business (no hours since summer; their son quit his retail job and replaced me), and making a serious attempt at starting my own web design business. The design business waxes and wanes, and even when it's waxing as it is this week, the payments are irregular or (in a couple cases) impossible to wring from my clients. I found one job I cannot do: bill collector.
