Our drab economy

I just felt like using the word drab, although honestly, it’s not strong enough. no where close. I mean seriously, 110,000+ jobs gone in one week. damn! Me and Liz are supposedly recession proof. And those statistician who said that are supposedly smart. In the curious way that statisticians use data in a plural since, the data are wrong.

We’ll truck it though. I made it through the job cuts at work. Liz was one of the first to lose hers at her job. Between her pay and my overtime I can’t get right now, that’s a $50,000 a year difference in income. Nuts. She’s finally working again, but to the paltry tune of $12/hour and busting her ass. But at least they are in desperate need of overtime, so she’ll give them all they want.

Everything is still rough though. This job will set us just barely in a position to get by with all of the bills. Overtime will definitely help. But gone are the days where we could both live alright and get the debt paid off. There goes NC State for at least a year or two:-/

And school… Wow, lemme tell ya. Being this far from taking calculus 1, trig, algebra, etc, it’s royally kicking my arse. Ass. Ahhh! The calc 2 part I’m not having a hard time with. The set-up of various integrals, yadda yadda yadda. It’s the stuff I learned in calc 1, like how to integrate, that’s killing me.

But at least Caitlyn is doing good. God she is getting so big… too quick.. Now that we grow up as fast as we wanted to when we were younger, we want time to go by slow like it did back then. Irony at its best.

After searching all over the freakin internet to find a theme, I find one I really like: but it’s in German. It was also written before widgets were alive. So yea. You’re just going to have to learn a little of the German language till I get this cleared up.
