So much on my mind...

Been meaning to write a lot more here in recent days, but I do not really know where to start. Nothing serious really going on, just a lot that I want to comment on these days. Work is...work. Ha. It has become somewhat frustrating lately as it has really turned into something kind of mind-numbing. Personally, what I am doing now has just run its course. Luckily, I have finally hit my year anniversary and I can apply to other positions within the company. As of right now, I'm surviving by waiting for my next day off or vacation time. For now, it is the camping trip later in October. I definitely need to get out into somewhere without a computer and a cell phone. Ironic? Maybe!

On to politics...we had the VP debate on Thursday night. I think I have to wait until after the next Presidential debate to write on both of those subjects. The financial crisis is still just sort of sitting out there despite the fact that we had the spectacular bailout plan passed last week. Nothing like tacking on an extra $100 billion to make sure that a plan passes in the House and Senate! Seems pretty damn counter intuitive to add more spending to a bill that is already going to cost the citizens of the country quite a bit. If the bill does not prevent further failures and the taxpayers do not see any profit from the plan in the end, we will see increased distrust and disdain for the government. And in this case, John McCain, Barack Obama and Joe Biden voted for it. So if you blame one, you blame the others. Regardless, I suppose we will see how the markets react in the coming weeks.

As for tonight, I think this is about it for writing. I will comment on the debates and the reactions/fallout from them after the next debate. I will talk to you all soon.
