My ass

Wall Street Journal headline this morning:

Dow at 10,000 as Crisis Ebbs

My ass.

How is the shockingly high percentage of homes in foreclosure and a 10% unemployment rate the ebbing of the crisis.

The only positive thing I see here is at least some people are recovering losses in their retirement plans.

I'm waiting for teh double dip on this thing. Banks are still ridiculously exposed on consumer loans and mortgages, families are still losing whatever wealth their homes represent, and with one in every ten people LOOKING for a job unable to find one, and however many people that represents who have given up and aren't even looking anymore, well, I don't see how a recovery is going to be sustainable.

But you know, that's just me. I hardly own any stocks and I just rent and my job is pretty secure, so screw you, WSJ.

Gotta remember to set the alarm

Got a Scheduling Order from Loudoun clerk. It is a form order, and they filled in the time of the trial as "3" then felt compelled to circle the "PM" in AM/PM. Why? Did they think someone would actually think they had a two hour trial starting at 3 am? *eyes court*

Drastic measures

I'm tired of being cold at work. I prefer warmer temperatures indoors than most people, but I work in a stupid office building with little ability to control temperature in the core areas. Even though Cellmate and I have closed our HVAC vent, I am still the victim of the temperature of the two attorney offices nearest to me, and their offices run about 60 degrees during the day. *flips them off* So I FREEZE in the draft. It is so bad, I sit in closed toed shoes, long pants, long sleeves and a fleece and my fingers still get so cold there are times during the day when the pads of my fingers go numb. I thought I was having some sort of neurological event until I realized it only happens at work.

Yesterday, I rearranged my desk to try to keep the draft off my feet and hands. I *think* it worked for my feet, but draft comes in at too high an angle for my office equipment to protect my hands.

But in rearranging my furniture yesterday (my desk weighs about 400 pounds), I realized that, hmmm, some serious physical activity really warmed me up.

So I think every time my hands start to go numb, I'll do a couple of rounds of Surya A and B.

Also, I have grabbed a mug and filled it with hot water. I'll never be a hot water drinker, but maybe a handwarmer could help. I'll bring my UNC mug from home tomorrow.

Also, I have fingerless gloves at home for weight training, but I'm not doing that right now. May bring those to work, so I can wear gloves while typing.

Jeez. The complexity of modern life. *rolls eyes*
