    February 19, 2009: In Country Western music, sad songs about losing your job have a special niche, something a little more wistful than David Allan Coe?s hearty ?Take This Job and Shove It.? Merle Haggard?s ?If We Can Make It Through December? is about a worker who gets laid off from his factory job at the end of the year. In ?These Days I Barely Get By,? George Jones moans that his boss plans to lay everyone off come winter. No question about it, getting laid off is even tougher to handle than losing your dog or your pick-up truck, two other sad themes in country tunes. But getting laid off also can signal a time for renewal, starting over and moving ahead in an exciting new direction. getAbstract finds that retirement expert Lita Epstein does a very solid job of showing you how to cope with life after a layoff. She explains how to make the best of a bad situation by taking practical, weekly steps. Her book will help you achieve a heads-up state of preparedness and ? if you do have to pick up your guitar (or laptop) and hit that lonesome unemployment road ? she tells you what song to sing next to get back in the saddle.
