Alright all, my apologies for not being here in a while. I just started the MBA program at Fresno State and I have been busy getting adjusted to school again. It seems a lot has happened since the last time I posted something.
I can tell you that the state of the economy just became a lot more of a reality to me than it had been. The company I work for just had its first (hopefully last) round of lay-offs. Although I feel secure with my position in the company, it is scary to know that the company you work for has to resort to desperate measures. Some of the people who were laid off had been with the company for over 20 years. I am sad to see them go, but I also realize the state we are in. I wish them nothing but the best and hope that they are able to find employment soon.
On a related subject, it looks as if the stimulus package is about to be signed into law by President Obama. Although I am not a supporter of a lot of the spending and increased debt it will create, I do welcome the nearly $100 billion of infrastructure spending. As a civil engineer I am hoping that some (a lot) of that money will find its way to my area.
Well that's all for now. I promise to not have such a long break between blog posts.
