WTF??

I've been watching this whole stock market thing over the course of the week with a sense of dread. First to the bad side, and now just to the WTF side......







I just don't get it. I understand the AIG bailout, it kind of had to be done. That fucker is just too big, and too tied in to all the facets of the economy to be allowed to fail, especially when it's nothing other than a cash flow problem. (and I believe that is the problem)







But I most definitely do not get the failout (not a misspelling) plan that buys all the crap assets and transfers them to my fucking back as a taxpayer. Why have we been bonusing out all those assholes if not to handle crap like that. Just give me a chance to shift my 401k money into cash, then let the failures begin. Someone will step back in eventually.

Quite a bit going on other than that, mostly work/potential job change related...







Work - I had a somewhat nice meeting with the CFO/COO (same guy) of the company that bought us. One of the reasons I've been pushing this LFT job was the lack (in my mind) of direction or attention after the buyout. This makes me feel better that things are still kind of on track and that nothing has changed. Still not sure what to do with the LFT job....I want it, and I like the opportunity, but I think I'm going to bow out politely on Monday due to financial reasons. I just don't see the risk associated with selling the house, plus the reduction in pay as being worth it. This is especially true after getting a little love this morning from the CFO.

I guess all I can do is wait and see. I don't think I did anything to hurt myself with yesterday's phone interview, I just don't think I can afford the job. And that sucks.

Had a nice e-mail conversation with girl who used to work for me yesterday. I used to chase her around the office, although it was all in good fun and she know that I valued her work. She needed a loan of a few hundred, so I decided that I could do that. I hope she's not screwing with me, but she never has before.





Now, just because I like girls in skimpy outfits:
