It's difficult for me to describe how I'm feeling recently. I'm living a difficult period, a period of darkness, a period in which one never thinks that is going to be involved, because you see it far away from you, thousands of miles from your head. I don't know if while reading this post, you realise what I'm referring to.
Well, the problem I have is very common to millions of people in Spain, the unemployment.
I have to confess that I'm not totally unemployed but at the moment I only work fifteen days a month so, as you imagine, my salary has been decreased. But apart from the salary, which it's not the most important thing, are the feelings.
I'm having several feelings, the first one and most important for me, is the fact that I can do almost nothing to avoid it. I'm sure that, despite all the efforts that workers are doing, it's almost sure that my complany will close down next year. Apart from the economic crisis, my company has been continuosly hit by the mistakes that the rulers have been commiting for years and what's more, they are wrong again, and they don't know how to face the problem.
What's the way they have to face the problem?
Instead of looking for new opportunities, they let the time go away,without doing nothing. They're not prepared enough to rule a company, they're not open minded and they don't have studies, and now, when all knowledge should be ready to put on practice in order to save the company, the only thing that come up to their minds is decreasing our salaries, the new laboral job law allows them to do that, and we can't do anything. Our rights are trampled day after day and in my opinion , things might worsen.
Well, I'll tell you about the rest of my feelings in following posts, I'd like to put things in order in my mind and in my heart first, because I'm sure that bad weather is coming and black clouds carrying lots of lightings and thunders are over my head.

Instead of looking for new opportunities, they let the time SLIP away, without doing ANYthing.

Very well written, Vicent. I like the weather metaphors.
Thank you Matt, It's very kind of you. I'll try not to make the same mistakes next time.
