how is everyone weathering this recession?
I dont know about you guys but things have been eerily slow around what is already becoming a cubicle ghost office. Its getting pretty scary and while i thought my job was secure before Im starting to have serious doubts.
watched this special last night that helped explain all these terms floating around these days like subprime blabla bla and bla bla bla yeah i started to doze off in the middle of it. But basically in my own terms it goes like : propety rates rise, banks are encouraged to lend to subprimers, who are just people who usually would otherwise rent and who often may have credit issues and in some cases which are hard to believe dont even have a job. BUT when i woke up towards the end of the program they started to link the finicial relationships between china and the us calling it CHIMERICA and stated one of the main reasons that banks were so liberal with their lending was because china was lendin crazy loot to US. fuckin greedy ass greedy asses. now everyones got to pay for some dumb ass decisions made by those greedy ass greedy asses. They compared this united finicial flow of money of CHIMERICA to the mythical CHIMERA beast whos got the a lions head and goat in the middle of his body a snakes head on its tail- FriGGin Dragon claw legs and in some cases wings. what a bad ass beast. I have no clue what the refrence is but it is a crazy combonation of beastly beasts and I wouldnt be surprised if some day in the not so distant future china is going to be running shit because of all the money the US is going to owe them. Maybe I should start taking some cantonese classes. wouldnt it be nuts if the next generation has China outsourcing work to us?
Work is so lame when Im not really working. I work with a bunch of (3) spanish speaking women and feel really ostrichsized because they always speak in spanglish. All this week Ive been secretly been wishing for unemployment- looking up how much I would make- Imagining how survival would be like living on those limited means but having the ultimate freedom to force myself to hustle my own income instead of pretending to work and clock watching. I used to have a few decent friends here but they either seperated us by walls or laid them off. rumor has it that im either going to be laid off this friday or moved to a lesser successful part branch of the bizness. either way im doing nothing else but trying to make myself look useful and responsible so i can have find a chair once the music stops again. but it all feels like floating on a boat with no sail.
btw L4Dead was pretty dope. Lets get some tactics down and start trying our hand at playing against other ppl. CUZ being a zombie lurking in a dark corner is pretty fun too. HOLY CRAP that xbox is addicting though I cant believe I stayed up til 7 last saturday and have been sleeping pretty late lately. anyways if work remains as dead as it is now i hope to be posting far more frequently.

realtalk: us owes a shit ton of money to china and japan and figured they were all good this our punishment but this is also a good thing because without it then we might be stuck in a neocon mold. i hope you're job is as secure as you want it to be aka if you want unemployment and to go buckwild i hope you get it and if you want a steady job to support the craziness of this year i hope so too.
