Gloom Despair and Agony on Me...

Only the people old enough to remember the show HEE-HAW will understand the title to my blog today.
A minute ago, my husband called me stating that they got an e-mail that their pay would be cut 10%- well, I got laid off from my job on January 2- no warning by the way and now my husband who does not make a huge salary is getting a pay cut. I really thought that our new president was going to "CHANGE" everything. I mean, the way he talked during the election he was going to be handing out money and jobs and free insurance to EVERYONE!!! So far, the gas is going back up, companies are closing doors, going bankrupt, folks are losing their homes and it does not seem like it is going to get better. Now all of those who saw this man as the answer to all of their problems have been blinded. I did not buy into his pontificating and political rhetoric, I voted the way I've always voted- but I cannot do anything about it. So now you have people who essentially had great jobs or somewhat good jobs and the world seems to be closing down. I still think the gas people are doing okay for themselves and I also believe that the electric and gas companies will continue to thrive. So sorry if this was not as uplifting as you had hoped, maybe I'll be happier tomorrow.
