Frustrated; With More things than one

Well, still looking for a job. Many good leads though. I have an appointment with Convergys, a call center. It looks like a good lead for me, but call centers attract a lot people and have a lot of turnover. I'm hoping to get well established with them.

On another front, for any of you who saw Pres Obama's speach last night, it looks to me like he is planning to spend more money..... He claims that this is not the case, but with the creation of more agencies to the government, rising taxes to the so called "rich", losses to DOD contractors and sub-contractors, along with all of the bailouts and a trillion dollar defecit, I only have one question: Where the heck is all this money coming from? Are we going to print it all? That would mean inflation. We gonna barrow it? We're already borrowing. What do we do then?

If I was a financial advisor to a young couple thousands of dollars in debt from credit cards, I would tell them to get rid of those cards, cut their spending where they can, and use any and all excess money from savings and other sources to pay the debt quickly. That would avoid a larger catastrophy for that couple. Why doesn't the government see things that way. Why do we have to spend money that simply doesn't exist? If anyone has any good comments, it's open for discussion.....

Gettin' Adjusted..... Catchin' Up

Well, as a missionary for two years, you kinda loose touch of technology and current events. For myself, there wasn't a great need to become used to watching TV, but I have been catching up on movies. So far, I've seen Pirates of the Caribean 3, Transformers, and Get Smart. I have on the docket next the new Indiana Jones flick, Iron Man, and Dark Knight.

To most, these movies seem months and years old. But to me, having been preoccupied so as to be away from the mainstream for as long as I was, these are brand spanking new! So I have some catching up to do......

Back After Awhile.......

I'm back after a long absence. Many things have transpired since then, and include, but is not limited to: serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; installer for Direct TV; and many other things. I think that I'll go back through and make somewhat of a memoir of my exploits in the last three years.
