As a Special Ed teacher, the day job is going well. The after school jobs have dried up. Used to teach adult ESL classes in the evenings and weekends. Haven't had a second job for approximately one year (and boy does it hurt).
My hunting partner/best friend/brother-in-law, is in construction. Things are really bad. He had a work force of 11 a year and a half ago. Now, he has 3 guys and is letting them go. He will be working with his partner to get some money.
The sad part is, I feel no matter who is in office, they only worry about themselves.
