didn't get any raise but wasn't really expecting any. prices gone up heaps. a few planned upgrades went to the shits. aussie dollar is pathetic at the moment. that rules out any travelling plan. oh yeah, job job job, good luck to me for trying to find a new one now (Which was my original plan) | ||

older folks who can't re-skill easily are fucked. when they get sacked, no where else to go, they cost too much. | ||

 Also, I spend a lot of time in the UK, and the GBP->USD exchange rate has just plummeted. Basically, I spend half as much overseas as I used to. So all in all, huge plus. | ||

hiring freezes pretty much everywhere (well i'm looking at insurance companies, banks, etc. lollll not a great time. maybe i'll have to go work at AMD or something =\) personally i didn't lose much in terms of $$, although my parents did. thankfully they withdrew a hefty sum in august or so, so that mitigated the loss somewhat also i can't buy a laptop because the us dollar hasn't tanked like i predicted yet (to be fair i think it will hit rock bottom end of the summer.. so there's still quite a wait). although that's pretty minor. 0.785 FTL. i want a 1:1 dammit! oh yeah and where the hell is the big 2009 price correction? did i miss something..? | ||

1. In school, and getting a fixed amount of guaranteed money from the military. 2. I have no debt (at least no unsubsizied debt). 3. Prices have gone down on consumer products but my income is the same 4. Gas has gone down 5. House prices have fallen and I am more likely to be a buyer than a seller anytime soon. 6. Credit crisis is no problem. I have great credit. 7. Stimulus package even though I am already better off. Fat child credit and i have a kid and my wife is pregnant again (I got $8,000 dollars BACK on my tax return) So ya. Recession for da win! | ||

For anyone not familiar with how layoffs work, it is not announced until the day it occurs. Then, that day, usually a friday, people go around to individuals and tell them they are one of the ones being laid off. They are supervised while they pack their things, and escorted out of the building. Many times, people who have worked there for 20+ years get it. So you can work at a place for 20 years, then on a random friday, you can find out you've lost your job and in an hour you have packed your stuff and are gone. | ||
