Financial Crisis
Monday, January 26th, 2009Wow. So the US is losing jobs… and fast!
Ugh, it makes for a scary future. I have faith that things will turn out alright. It certainly changes my plans for the next few months. I had been toying with the idea of finding another job, but it looks like the market will be swamped!!
Meanwhile I keep racking up debt.. and I find everyday purchases just keep getting more expensive. I’ve been trying to make ends meet, but there are certain big purchases that I keep making. These purchases are totally worth the extra fees I’ll incur, as they are making my life a little easier to operate.
An example, that quite expensive scanner. I’ve been wanting one for YEARS and I’m so glad I bought it.. but I really can’t afford it.
I also can’t really afford the new harddrive I bought for my macbook. I read http://obscuredclarity.blogspot.com/2008/10/500gb-macbook-harddrive-upgrade-for.html and was inspired. I forked over the $120 and I plan on taking it apart on Friday.
It will be nice to have all my info at once. I’ve SO outgrown the 80GB drive. I’ve been running off a 500 that requires external power. Hmm.
The big bummer is that my battery is dead. It only has 100 cycles, but I didn’t follow the suggestions on http://apple.com/batteries so, there you go.
A replacement is another $100. = (
Plus I still need to get a shredder. AND get new car tires, AND get my ebrake fixed. Yikes.
I need to get another job. Ugh, like I have the energy though…. I’ll have to figure out something I can do on the bus on the way to work or something. Or start my own business selling something original. Hmm.
