I know that I, and all the other geeks I know, are sick and tired of the tech economy. I'm working, which is more than many techies can say. Doesn't mean that the whole thing doesn't make me nervous. I work for a company with one major client (and a few small ones), and that major client is trying to sell the business, and I worry about what happens if that goes through. Maybe it'd mean nothing, maybe it'd mean good things, maybe it'd be bad.

Still I hear about insane pay levels for CEOs, while the bottom rung of the corporate ladder is still getting laid off in record numbers. The US economy is in the tank, and the Canadian economy is closely linked. All I want right is for things to settle down a bit so that I can not worry about where I'll be in two years.

Today I signed a small loan for the next couple years. Doing so makes me wonder why I take this leap of faith. It all seems to work out in the end...at least it has in the past. Let's all click our heels, blow out the candles, spy the first star, and wish that things go back to normal.
