okay. i'm done hearing about it people. my boss, EVERYDAY (and that is not an exaggeration), talks about how "we are all screwed". he's talking about soup kitchens and soup lines "under the bridge". he talks about the "second depression". and then i go home and watch the news. or read the news on google. and everything is bleak and everyone is concerned and the stimulus package still hasn't passed because apparently a bunch of rich politicians can't make a decision on exactly HOW they want us taxpayers to pay for big business mistakes and on and on and on and on.
that's it. i am done. my boss tried to bring it up again (as he was, of course, paying his taxes which puts him in just a rosy mood). i kindly said "dave, i have stuff i need to work on" and ignored him. i am not watching or reading the news anymore if there are the words "economy", "stimulus" or anything related to such in the headline. i have my own financial stuff to worry about at the moment that i can completely separate from the big picture, at this moment. i am educated about what is going on, yes. but did anyone ever think that if the media/government/stock market hadn't put everyone into such a panic things might not be so "bleak"? we may not be so "screwed"?
oh, wait, that's right. i am not a rich politician. i don't know WHAT i am talking about.
