how the recession is affecting me
The bad news:
1) Our house is worth about 60 bucks now. We are paying a lot more than that for it.
2) Carl's Jr replaced their good fries with stupid Recession Fries. Blech!
3) Here at work they replaced the paper towels in the bathrooms with new Recession Grade Paper Towels. Soon they'll just start using newsprint. After that they will replace the paper towel dispenser with a diagram of how to dry your hands using your shirt… or they'll send out an email saying that employees that want to wash their hands will be fired.
The good news:
1) I still make the same money I was making pre-recession. That makes me one of the richest men in America.
2) Gas is cheap. I saw $1.48/gallon yesterday. By the time you read this it'll be down to 99 cents. Wahoo!
3) Lots of businesses are going out of business! That means bargain basement prices on everything. I just bought a new flat panel TV for 12 damn dollars.
