Day 18 - Economy is hitting the .gov - finally

So, it has been a tough week at my work which ends in a .gov . We have been very very lucky in the fact that we have yet to feel the effects of the economy at work. Yes we had zero raises, yes we had a raise in taxes and health insurance costs. BUT we've been exempt from layoffs, from salary decreases, etc. The recession has finally found its way in through the gates and we are looking at layoffs. Sadly, I am faced with doing the laying off - which honestly is better than the opposite but is sucks to do this. It also doesn't look that it will be getting better anytime soon.

Hope we all make it thru the holidays this year.

PS - I've missed Days 16 & 17. Sadly I don't know why or have a decent explanation :(
