I was at a loss in every way. I had just been laid off from the third job in a row with long stretches of unemployment in between. My intention was to re-do the Silva training which I had just remembered that I'd forgotten...After emigrating to this country just at the first signs of a recession; the ensuing few years of depressingly poorly paid menial jobs, long hours of travel, long hours at those jobs and no room for any type of entertainment or levity - I have forgotten all that I had learned with the burden of scraping by. I remembered that I had done the full Silva training, and forgot it. [...] At the end of October, I landed a seasonal job for a well known, highly respected company in my field. I was hired at the end of my interview. I was literally jumping for joy. When I started working, I paid attention to what I was doing, how I was doing it, doing whatever else I was asked with good cheer to the best of my ability.
