I’m grumpy

Welcome back!

Well, I guess the title says it all.

With what congress has done, we will all be needing a way to earn extra income from home. I do not expect that a whole lot of the country is happy right now, so I am not alone in my grumpiness.

The economy is still throwing out a lot of flack. Businesses are in rough times, families are in need. More income would really be wanted by many people.

Some people need lessons on how to treat acne, I apparently need lessons on how to balbance a check book.

It isn’t often that i screw up, but it seems like when I do that I do a really good job of it. I have overdraft protection on the worst hit account, but it still hurts. We could really use that money right now. What else is new?

Each month we get to less than one dollar. We are already cutting corners, I guess that now we will be cutting into the walls, too. We are not homeless, so we are still in better shape than some. I do not like it when I mess up, who does after all. :(

OUCH

We usually go to the smallest penny each month.

This month, a couple of times those pennies went astray. OUCH We need Outer Banks vacations after this mess is straightened out.

So far, I’ve been notified of NSF checks hitting the bank when I hac believed that there was money in there waiting for them. NSF are 3 letters that are dreaded by those who balance check books each month. That overdraft money is really needed in our home, not in the bank’s pocket.

Anyone know where I can sell some paper back books, cheap. Only 50 cents each. Oh, how abaout some unused computer programs discs?

Oh Brother…

Well, it seems that the politicians in Washington do not want to listen to the American people. They are wanting to push through the so-called health care bill.

I say so-called because it will adversly effect everyone around. We are a family that has very limited means. According to the bill, we will be forced to pay for health care insurance where or not we actually have $10 to spare. Someone will then determine if we can afford it or not. We already know that we cannot afford it. We count every penny that we have. Lincoln no longer has a beard.

So when my brother-in-law sent me the following e-mail, it really hit the spot.

Dear Employees:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty ‘Obama’ bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change…. I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

THE BOSS

It really fits.
