Well, let's see:
Karl's temp assignment ended and he's been out of work for three weeks.
Unemployment decision won't be made until tomorrow.
Karl's SUV has a transmission that's slipping.
Karl put his back out today.
I have a killer toothache.
I've got $2 in my account until tomorrow (payday).
I'm part of a team of people who is rolling out Oracle 9.0 and due to my role, I can only work 20% of my time on my 40 hour a week job, and the other 80% on the Oracle project.
BUT.....
We are blessed!
I have a good job that is paying the bills.
We have a roof over our head.
We have food to eat three square meals a day.
We have awesome friends.
My company is going through layoffs, but this role I'm in practically assures my job security - will they hear me complain about the extra work? Not a chance!
We have awesome pets, both the furred and scaled variety.
We are already making our Holiday plans - which is a great reduction in gifts to each other, but plan to camp out all day on Christmas with rented movies, a ham slowly cooking in the oven, and attendance at the Christmas Eve Midnight service - and we're more excited about this year than past years!
Stocks are on SALE! We'd be a fool not to invest in them!
So - all in all - life is good!
