The stock market has plunged.
The sky is steel grey.
My t-shirt is black.
And here at the office on the last day of September, the pile-up of vacation hassles is twice as high as I expected to find when I left town six days ago.
None of this is what anyone wants to read about, but it is what today looks to bring in this girl's world.
At least Obama is up in the polls. Meeting the new nephew in Minneapolis was a wicked good time. And the Twins could win their division.There is a God.
Once I swim up from the murk, I promise you something sexy and fun.
Promise.

you're such a tease...:)
We had an interesting discussion in my small group last night about the current economic circumstances---one of our members is studying finance and was able to give a very helpful exposition of some of the larger trends. Our graduate InterVarsity staff worker mentioned that an economics professors had told him that all his friends, to his dismay, were selling their stock due to the plunge (the worst possible thing to do, of course), and I thought of how harried you must be with all your skiddish clients, freaked out by plummeting values. "They" say that governmental action could relieve the stress on the exchange. Hopefully it comes sooner than later!
Hi Michael -- thanks for the thoughts. The client response here has been not nearly as bad as I expected. We do try to counsel people to hold on and chill....if the market is at the bottom it most certainly will go back up, and panicking helps nothing. If our clients insist on selling at the bottom we work hard to get it in writing that it was THEIR decision. :0)
Will be interesting to see what tonight's Senate vote means for the market tomorrow. Anything will be better than Monday afternoon.
I hope this doesn't find YOU harried as new landlord and new-on-campus man.
