Hello all,

I'd like to make a correction: The Philadelphia Museum of Art layed off 28
employees, not 78. We'd need to shut down had we lost 1/3 of our staff. The
news is bad, but not That Bad. It goes without saying that museums are in a
difficult phase now and losing 28 staff members is a significant amount for
a museum of any size. Morale is definitely low.

Whether you're struggling to get your foot in the door or working through
financial turmoil, hopefully we can all survive it with our humanity, sense
of humor, and aspirations intact.

    I tried not to laugh at only one response to "It's just Paper", but
heres more bad news for those looking to get a foot in the door.
Philadelphia Museum of Art announced today they are laying off this week 78
employees out of 218.(WXPN 88.5 Morning News) Hey Dawn, don't feel to bad
the only email I get from these intellectuals is either "hate mail" or
"correct your errors mail" I think we need to get rid of the pre 1945
mentality.
