last day of the year rush

January 1st, 2008 at 04:47 am

Saving log - $7 tip box
Spending log - $1.91 large coffee + $9 lunch

Today was the downside of working for a large non-profit. We were very busy today, the last day of the year, charging the credit cards of the procrastinators who want a tax substantiation for 2007. When I left for my hour of gym, a donor was actually waiting in the lobby, tapping his card on the bullet proof glass in the lobby. Sigh. I have to admit that today's a lot easier when it falls on a weekend.

It feels like the recession is coming, even here in supposedly "bullet proof" Seattle. Other years we would have 3-4 unchargable credit cards/ week; this year 18!

    Yes, my friends who thought I was "off my meds" in March are paying more attention now and no longer think I'm crazy when I talk of the economy...

    I agree with your recession prediction. The NASDAQ is almost below 13,000. Oil is over $100 per barrel. Credit crunch, sub-prime crisis, etc, etc, etc. Happy New Year!
