Another good thing just happened--I found out I don't have to work job #3 on Sunday, since they don't have any clients scheduled at that office. The clerk did ask if I wanted to drive over to the Elmhurst office to work there on Sunday instead, but I said no after asking if they really needed me. When I was hired, I was told it was for the Arlington Heights office only.
He did warn me that the following Sunday at the AH office is already shaping up to be as bad, if not busier, than this past one, so I'll be picking up some extra hours then, which is fine with me. I'd rather drive in for 5-6 hours on one day than 2-3 hours two separate days--saves on gas.
Bankruptcy law is probably the most stable job out there right now.
And how many people outside of law enforcement and porn can say that?
It's kind of entertaining how my job slots neatly between those two things.
The National Review just pointed out another way that McCain's little "I'm not going to the debate/I'm going to the debate" stunt might backfire on him--it's made him very unpopular down at Ole Miss. A nationally-televised debate in front of a live audience hostile to one of the debaters is not a good thing for said debater.

Hmmmmm, I wonder if he pissed off the techies? "Can we get the green and blue lights on McCain, please?" "But he'll look like a walking corpse." "Yes. Yes he will." "Green and blue it is."
Okay, this is funny. Krugman:

The work is steady, but you might not get paid.
Question re: office etiquette:
We use an instant messaging system for internal communications. That system has the means to send an instant message as opposed to initiating a chat. I just sent an instant message to a supervisor, and now I'm wondering if I should ahve sent an email. The instant message will pop up in all its glory on the screen, but the email only pops up the little envelope in the corner. What is the line between "pop up in yo face, sucka!" and "by the way, there's another new email in your inbox, sir." My message was in regards to overtime over the weekend, which is moderately important information mid-afternoon on a Friday, but possibly not instant message urgent.

I liked the quote from... the Washington Post, I think?
In a world where credit markets are frozen, where banks refuse to lend to each other at any price, only one man, with one plan can save us...
