6. The start of the great recession

I remember clearly how I knew things were going South and something wasn't quite right. It was Sept of 2008 and in the middle of the week entire families with under school age children were shopping together Home Depot, grocery store etc..
I had already lost my job end of August, which for my profession isn't unusual. But the amount of families encountered were.
The Pandemic the same way pertaining to work. We were waiting for the call to come in for the install of the largest trade show in North America and it didn't happen. The next day at 5:30 pm we were informed by email they pulled the plug.
I am aware that the memory will be different for everyone, depending on what that defining moment was for them.
