Can We Still Go O/T Here? [this has a happy ending]
Charlemagne 8:
This used to be a good place to tell about things that really had nothing to do with MC. I don't see any other OT postings so I'm unsure. I guess you can either move or delete if I'm out of bounds here.
Lots of things have happened in the last more-than-a-few months to distract me from my Beta duties but the thing that has moved me to this posting is that 2 weeks ago I lost my job I've had for over 20 years and I'm feeling very disheartened.
On the up side, I've also recently become a grandfather -- my first -- and am quite infatuated with the little tike. He turns 6 months old today.

Sorry To Hear About You Losing Your Job

The economy here in the USA will be getting Worse before it gets better, more so if the price of Oil keeps going up.
No matter who gets into office this coming term, they will have a rough ride, and will not get re-elected.

C8,
Great to hear of the new critter! Congratulations. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Sign of the times though. The economy is just plain weird, but we always seem to pop back in a year or two. I'm looking forward to a government I can be proud of again.
So get on that beta testing!
Jim
Charlemagne 8:
Thanks guys. Fortunately, I'll be better off than most. I've spent the last several years getting out of debt so I only have the regular recurring bills like utilities and food but I only owe money on my house and that will be paid off in 8 years with any luck at all. The kids are all grown and out of college.
It could be much worse.
Here's the boy:

I agree. Bush 2.0 did not work very well, so let's get to betatesting Obama 1.0! :D
Charlemagne, congratulations on the grandbaby! And sorry to hear about your job, but I tend to agree with Jim in that it wil pop back. There's far too much work to do getting the world back in shape, the new tech will need lots of hands!
