Stupid Economy

Four people got laid off on Thursday. I saw it coming. My bosses said everyone else is safe and that if the company gets more work, they'd be the first ones to be called back. I thought I would be okay with it, but I felt quite sad. Everyone's not each others' best friends at work, but the studio just seemed more quiet and less cheery. Plus, it didn't help that while the bosses were talking beside my table, no one thought to tap me on the shoulder while I had my headphones BLASTING. Eh.

I think I'm so AHHHHHH!!! about the economy because I listen to NPR (Talk of the Nation) and WNYC (The Brian Lehrer Show) almost daily. They make everything sound so scary, (not in a FoxNews kind of way) but that's how our economic state is right now. Excellent audio journalism though! ;) Listen on your comp or get the podcasts! [NPR: Planet Money is also a gem...and they always have interesting music choices.]

P.S. I got my annual cold this week. I was miserable.

My parents came back from Malaysia+Thailand and all I got was a t-shirt.
