Uuuugh, what a week! On Tuesday, Matty received word that he (among many others, read here and here) will probably be layed off at the end of the school year. I thought I'd cheer him up by picking up his recent Ebay win at the post office yesterday, but his "package" turned out to be certified mail containing his preliminary pink slip. Egads! Then we heard that two of our friends lost their jobs yesterday, effective immediately. Bummer. Despite qualifying for the earned income tax credit for 2007, I still owe the IRS a good chunk of change (darn you 1099-G's and 1099-misc's!) Does anyone know if I can still put money toward an IRA and use it for a deduction? On top of some other (read: stupid) crap beyond our control, Matty and I are desperate for a change of scenery. I've rented a car for the weekend and we're just going to go where the road takes us cause that's how we fly... we need an adventure!
In other news, I had a fabulous day off yesterday - I got a lot done with time leftover for coffee with a co-worker and lunch with Mindy & Dutch. The housemates and I saw a cool show last night, the first of a bunch that I'll be attending this Spring and I cannot wait to tell you all about them. In the meantime, I need to take a deep breath and recharge my batteries. Have a great weekend!
Mmmmm... just thinking about that ahi poke
wasabi rice bowl that I ate yesterday

Oh man, that sucks about Matt. So sorry to hear it! I'm coming up on my tenure review and I'm just holding out for a time when I don't have to worry about getting pink slipped every single year.
But at least that dinner looks delicious!

N: Thanks - thankfully he's not too worried about it. That boy has amazing dumb luck sometimes. :)
