Economic crisis

The dow dropped another 2.42%. People are getting laid off, hiring is coming to a halt, and people aren't spending their money which is only making matters worse. I on the other hand am doing my part to contribute to the economy. Say hello to my new pony - Moby...

...Okay. So it's a Japanese made bike but this economic crisis has gone global. The way I see it I helped the Japanese economy, helped our economy (I paid with Paypal who gets a transaction % share), and I also plan on buying the rest of the components from US dealers...so keep your pants on =p

I rode my horse to work today for the first time. It was a very pleasant experience. I woke up at 7:00. Left my house at 7:45 and got to the cal train station at 8:05. My train arrived at 8:27 and I hit my destination at 9:02. I got into work at 9:20. It was a nice ride. The air was crisp and the fog was just clearing. There is a strange peace I find sitting in a train watching the less visited parts of the bay pass by my window. Lets see if I can do this 2-3 days a week.

My manager has been spending every Monday for the last month in 8 hour meetings discussing company budget cuts and what not. Lots of rumors have been developing as a result of these meetings. I hope I don't lose my job in the coming days, but if I do my friend Ryan eased my fears by telling me, and I quote "Well for what its worth unemployment checks are ~1800/month". Cool beans.
