Before September 11th, 2001, and I only use that date because it is such a clear landmark in my mind, I worked in a group of eight people. Enough people to do a Gilligan’s Island group costume for Halloween and have one person extra to play a gorilla. Soon we will be a group of four.
I would be worried if it weren’t for knowing that the cuts can’t go any deeper, because we still have the exact same volume of support and development responsibilities that we did a year ago. It doesn’t make it easier to see friends put out of work, though.
