All I can really say this morning is that I am glad as hell I didn't get the job at Washington Mutual. I interviewed there several times, and am highly relieved.

Scary fucking stuff. I just hope that calmer heads in congress will prevail and they will hold off on spending all our blasted money in saving structures that ought to be looked at closely before determining if they actually need the assistance. Or if this is a Henny Penny maneuver. Oh, yes. The sky is falling. It happens. If you are a silly chicken, and if this is a children's story. I wouldn't share this story with a child though. It's boring and scary at the same time. But the boring prevails.

On the happier side, the stock at work went up this last week, and I got my first award a month ago. It's nice to see something resembling stability in my life. At least financially. The rest is pretty good, but that helps.

Gotta go to work in a bit- so will sign off. I'm hoping to have time to actually put some writing on the page this weekend. It is possible. And likely. Hold tight, I'll be back soon.

we used to have our mortgage w/WAMU, before it was switched to Bank of America--apparently one of the few healthy banks out there. Let us not kid ourselves, however, it's not like BoA has been a saint with its "products." Awful stuff; Gordon Gecko is apparently still alive and kickin'.

Alive and kickin and drawing quite a severance package, by all reports. I hope that the FBI finds tons of slimebags to blame for this and prosecutes them. Totally wishful thinking on my part, but girls gotta hope, no?
