A noteworthy comment on the St.Cloud Times website, below a story talking about local job losses in central Minnesota

As a person who was eliminated from my company, took 4.5 months to find new employment and take nearly 5.00/HOUR paycut...be happy you are employed. If you are so bitter about a pay cut, we are all getting pay cuts. You are not alone. It's a part of life now - time to deal with it instead of gripe about it. Enough already. Really. Life could be worse - learn to live with less. It's not so bad afterall. And I can say that, because I've BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT. :-)
