Recession Blues

Everytime I turn around I hear about people out of work or people who know people who are out of work. The New York Times has an opinion piece today to help the unemployed. It's called "Out of Work? Read a Recession Blog. Or, Better Yet, Write One" by Adam Cohen. A person might as well have something to read in between looking for jobs or comforting friends who are out of theirs. There is a lot of misery to go around. I still have my job but our hours have been cut. We are supposed to have a well-maintained store with everything in stock and fast check-out but aren't given the time it takes to keep it that way. Even though I whine I am very thankful to have a job and I know that other people at other jobs are having their hours cut as well.
The good news is that the sun peeked out a little today. Lady and I got our walk and bus ride in. Canine company is the best in trying times.
