Not too much, frankly.
I don't think I'm going to have much to share this week.

The company I work for is part of a multinational conglomeration, and we deal in water treatment and wastewater treatment equipment. As a rule this means that our customers are municipalities, so the credit crunch really shouldn't impact us much. It's making them a little hesitant to hire on new people, but that's about it. The only impact that has on me is that it may be a little while longer before I get to have benefits (I have no health insurance or vacation time).

But since I divorced at about age 40 and had no real savings or much in a 401K, I haven't lost anything. *shrug* Double edged sword, really- I haven't lost anything because I had nothing to lose.

The only thing that may one day impact me is what it's doing to my father's investments- my inheritance is becoming a lot less. However, I'm hoping that that will not really be a factor for quite a few years yet, as both of my parents are pretty healthy.

I'll have to think about this one for a while. I don't know that I can come up with an entertaining story from any of this.
