I do not know, ita. But you should probably search when your body tells you to.

Maybe it is the same reason I have to be up by 4:30 am to be out the door by 6:56. I don't even know what I do. I don't even have time to have breakfast or dry my hair!

working for a not financially well off bank, I know I should be worried, like really worried, but I cannot muster it.

ION, I hate cramps and would volunteer for removal of all girl parts immediately if I could do it outpatient.

I have an orthopedic doctor's appointment today, because my shoulder was hurting so very bad last Saturday. It's improved a whole lot since then, but it's still ouchy when I stretch the arm out to what you'd consider a normal reach, so I suppose I should go anyway, since I'd rather not go through 6 mos of PT for frozen shoulder therapy. Feh.

msbelle, did you find Criminal Minds? I wish there was a way to get my copy to you. The last 15 minutes were good. t /not rubbing it in, honest

One of my recruiters asked me if I'd reconsider working for my initial CA employer, in the mortgage industry. Lady on crack! Not that I could imagine them hiring right now...

I hope you get some relief, Theodosia.

Relief ~ma for msbelle too. Girl parts are deeply flawed. Mine did me a favor and opted for a quiet early retirement about 7 years ago.

The financial stuff is crazy making. It is difficult to read about in depth without getting very worried. I own no stock and only have a couple hundred in my WaMu account. I'm not concerned about my personal accounts, but the economy as a whole is very scary. Guess we are lucky we have dedicated public servants like McCain trying to duck out of the debate suspending his personal interests for the good of the country. I sure hope he can stay the hell out of the way of people who might be able to do something help solve our problems.

I guess that's a general background "were you happy with your job?" question but still, given what we know happened to that company, quite ironic. At least you weren't there when the shit hit the fan.

ita, I feel for your wakiness. I was up from 1-4 this morning. Feeling sort of groggy as a result.

I could, theoretically, pile the kids in the van to take the laptop in to be fixed and stop by for a pumpkin spice latte.

I am immensely grateful right now to be working (a) in a relatively recession-proof industry (television) and (b) for a non-American company.

Now if only I could convince them to pay me in sterling, I'd be set.

Yeah, I think people need to keep people like me employed in hard times, so I'm not overly worried about not having a job, BUT my job is so dependent on other people doing well that it could be kind of a nightmare for the next few years.

If McCain is elected and then dies - why doesn't Palin become President?
