it's bothering me...

I see nothing but about “recession” almost every time I go online. Take for instance this single mom who used to be earning $70k a year but now have to go to a food bank to feed her 2 kids. I’m sure it’s not only in the US that this is happening. Manang Glo told me last night that pork in the Philippines is now P175 per kilo. And I also read online that they are facing rice shortage. Filipinos depend so much on rice. In fact, we eat rice 3x a day. IFC doesn’t have a job yet and as to when he can have one, nobody knows. I don’t know but I think I’m getting paranoid of things that are not even affecting me. Well at least not yet. In reality, the company I work for is very stable. I would say it has the resources it needs. We even have 4 new hires in the last 2 weeks. But you just never know…

yes, the R word is all over the news everytime there's a market correction. juice ko, shempre, nature ng stocks ang tumaas at bumaba - ano pa ba ang bago doon? some people like speculating and it's also driving me off the wall!!! i hope your dear hubby finds a job he likes... can he not start with temp agencies and work his way from there?
