Trials and Tribulations

March 18, 2007 at 4:23 pm (Uncategorized)

I understand that this is how life works.  That after one thing goes wrong and you fix it, sooner rather than later, something else will break.

But my current situation is driving me mad.

My car died last summer so I had to get a new one, in December my furnace died, in January the oven died, in February I purchased a new oven with my extra special bonus check, and now I have a leak in my bathroom.

It would just be nice to have a financial break where I can finally get things in order, just in case.  Michigan is kind of a scary place to live right now, I hear on the national news all the time how well the economy is doing, however in Michigan there are layoffs and plant/office closures every week.  Companies are fleeing the state and taking their jobs with them, which means that people obviously have less money, which means stores are losing business, houses and cars aren’t selling, and things just aren’t getting better.

What all this means to me, personally, besides making me completely depressed on a daily basis (70 degree sunny days notwithstanding), is that when I finally get my master’s degree, when I finally get that piece of paper which states I can be a librarian, I am looking at a job market in a state through which tumbleweeds roll.  It’s not good.

Maybe I just need more 70 degree sunny days…

    I heard on NPR just the other day that the January unemployment stats put Michigan at 6.9%, which is, drum roll, the highest in the country.

    Of course, I find repeating things you hear on NPR is a little like playing that telephone game. It was probably February, and 4.3%, and the 13th highest in the country.

    Possible misinformation shouldn’t stop you from trying to inform other people, in my humble opinion.

Why does this happen? Can you power something else rather than tennis balls? Thank you!
