Mood: crushed out
Does anyone else feel as used and abused as I do? We kept on hearing on how the bailout plan had to be passed to save the economy. The demopubs pass this over the protests of myself and others. Then what happens??? The Dow has the largest loss ever. My 401k becomes a 201k. This is saving the economy?
The plan is such a sham. It started as three pages and grew to over 400 pages once every one finished eating at the trough.
So not only do we have an economy going down the toilet we have saddled the country with over 10 trillion dollars of debt. I guess to ensure that future generations can enjoy the same economy as we now have...lets pass the misery on to our descendants!
The new job is OK over the first week or so. Some similiarities, some differences from my ex employer, lots to learn. To quote a former secratary of war "We don't know what we don't know." The application we support is complicated. But feel confident that I will do well over time.
One odd thing with the facilities. No one I had asked had an answer. But there is a chair in each mens room. Rather curious I thought. Plenty of stalls, never more than one or two people in them when I visited. Maybe if a bunch of elderly gentlmen with bad prostrates used the facilities at once, then one could use the chair to wait I suppose.
The apartment has been transformed. On Monday I had a HDTV on a cardboard box, a lawn chair, and inflatable mattress. Perfect bachelor accomodations. By Friday we had two nice chairs, a new mattress, entertainment center and it now looks civilized. We bought most all the furniture used from a local thrift store.
It is an odd feeling having two homes. I guess that over time I will get used to this.
