    Poor economy? It's made my other job a little harder, since I'm trying to help people depart from their money, but not much...it wasn't that much easier before the crash either...

    Otherwise, doing two jobs, trying to save some to pay my student loans and there's some plumbing to be done which'll cost an arm and a leg, but that has nothing to do with the economy...

    Did two jobs before the crash, doing them now, so no changes...

    It's been fascinating with all the changes in interest rates at the bank, plus with all the other mega-banks going down the gurgler, our bank is now one of the top 10 biggest and safest in the world

    I'm officially out of a job after the 6th of November.. Oh well, I'm actually looking forward to it because I needed change. Still sucks that I have to go job searching though, and because o the economy, it might be harder. On last resort, I'll get a job at the government. I have a bachelor degree, so I pretty much only have to apply to get one, but that's not the kind of job I want..

    My wife got her evaluation last week and received a two and a half percent raise, which was the max. Last year she received a five percent raise, also the max. My company gave no raises this year. Not to anyone, including our VPs. It was agreed upon by all involved. It was agreed that the company will not layoff this year or the next by doing so. Job Security.
