The edge of boredom

Okay, so I couldn't think of a better heading... sue me.

Well I'm still alive, physically at least. Did the whole unemployment administrative law judge thing, and like I thought they were only appealing the one thing (whether or not an offer was made). The judge sided with the state, whether that's what he really thiought, or it was just to shut the state the hell up. I don't know and I don't care. I'm getting tired of fighting someone elses battles. Or someone else's screw ups. Like the two messes
I have to deal with because someone in my doctor's office didn't cancel an appointment after they made me another one with a different specialist. And the home care unit charging my old insurance instead of my current one... no wonder the healthcare system is a mess... what do they do hir illiterate people in the accounting department?

Well after a week of having a class in MFC, which was fun I'm back in my cube bored. Waiting to hear back from a guy who I"m supposed to be working with on a task to set up a workstation with a bunch of tools and see if they can coexist. Sounds like busy work, but hey it's something.

I read an article over at Forbes called Generation Wrecked that basically says us Gen-Xers are screwed. This sort of goes back to my raise fiasco. Found out at my calss from one of the other guys taking it that back in the beginning of the year we hired too many graduates, cause we were usede to only 1 out of 5 offers accepting, so they put out more offers that what they need. Well with no one else hiring, a lot more accepted; so we have/had more people that we need. It isn't/wasn't those new hires that will/did get let go. My guess is that I'm stuck at my current salary for awhile, so I'll be seeing my buying power dwindling.

Maybe going to war will fix the economy... or kill us all. Either way will be a good outcome.
