thursday...

Good news... I have another $2 Million added to my budget. The bad news is that I have to work hard to spend it. Like I have a lot of extra time to devote to another project.

a protest...

It seems that someone in the 'homeless community' expressed some sentiments with a spray can... the project has been running all night most nights and has taken over some othe 'prime' sleeping spots in civic center.

late night....

I'm saddened to read of all the people losing jobs. I guess we are in a deep recession, and now is the time to re-invent yourself. I'm amazed of my situation. I was informed yesterday afternoon that I have another $2 million in my budget.  The irony is we are not allowed to fill positions as they become vacant, so as people retire next year, we will be suffering cutbacks and the work will just pile on.

The cities are looking for some part of the bailout and some sort of stimulus package, especially a package of infrastructure improvements. I've crunched so many numbers the last few months preparing estimates for work we dream we could do.

I'm awake right now, but should think of sleep, as the workday starts too soon. The alarm clock will go off at 4 a.m..

To bed I go...

P.S.  I have been asked if I want to work part time as a consultant after I retire.
