I give thanks every day for my job. This is the first time in my life I've lived comfortably enough to be able to purchase masks, busts, and other cool stuff...However, the thought of losing this job has crossed my mind numerous times. With as many lay-offs as there have been all over this country (and in my company) in the last 2 years, it's perfectly feasible to be frightened concerning the security of your own. The only thing I can do in my situation is be faster, more efficient, and less expendable to the company in hopes that they will see my potential as a hard worker and not lose their use for me, ever. 'Take a few offerings that come my way and hope for the best...From a political standpoint, I've begun to dislike Obama greatly. What he stands to do with healthcare could be dangerous news for those of us who actually have diseases, hereditary illnesses, cancer, or other huge problems that need constant monitoring/treatment. I'm especially afraid for what my lady could have to go through down the road because of all this...Luckily, our state is now "investigating the possibility" of legalizing medical marijuana, so hopefully that will work out for a LOT of people. Cross your fingers for us!Cheers,Ryan
