I take comfort that the destruction of the financial system as we know it might be a character-building experience.

Hehe. Riiiight. The 'experience' portion of that is already underway... how to hide assets, weather the storm, and hope your organization doesn't end up in the public eye before it's over so you can get back to overspending, living high, and manipulating finances and reports in a business-as-usual fashion.


'Character-building'. That's rich.

Actually, I'm getting a lot of work done on my house now that I'm not spending time, energy and money going on expensive vacations every few months.

My bank account is growing and I'm way ahead on my vehicle maintenance.

Instead of Burning Man this summer...time for that new roof at last.

When life hands you lemons, take heroin.

Day time t.v. sucks. But I'll learn to love it.

typical day: Drink coffee until noon, switch to beer.

Don't forget about looking at Boobies online.

Does buying porn contribute to the GNP ?

The Revolution will be blogged and twittered. Storm the barricades with your myspaces, livejornals, twitters, and your facebooks.

The Revolution will be online.

I guess the "dumbass" tag is for the submitter not recognizing satire.

I am about ready to start rearranging my brain cells.

If organizing your closets requires buying $2000 worth of closet organization then not so much.

I'm actually looking forward to starting on the garden if it would ever stop snowing.

What I am finding is all the women that normally wouldnt pay attention to me, are now. I was always the frugal one of the bunch (looked as an outsider). Now I am looked as someone who was "ant" and not the "grasshopper". Take that! unemployed roofer friend.

I like how fewer people are turning up their noses at my brown bag lunches. For three months solid, my new boss went out to lunch every day. Then, the CPA lowered the boom and suddenly, he's dropping into the lunchroom everyday to swap recipes. Priceless. But, I draw the line at telling him about Goodwill.

FTA (last part): "my favorite thing about the recession is schadenfreude"...etc.

I was suspicious but didn't confirm it until this comment. Which one of you farkers wrote this thing?

Or is it a SA or /b/ thing?

Screw you all. My groceries now cost twice as much as they ysed to, but at least the gas prices have come down. Too bad I work from home and don't go out much, huh?

 
AliasUndercover 2009-04-05 11:39:49 PM  
Plus I couldn't afford a "u" and had to use a "y" in "used". How much does that suck?
