Getting Flinty Around Here

“Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”

– William Butler Yeats

The budgets are getting settled out here in Lansing.  The next Flint, Michigan, perhaps. The legislature is all up in everyone’s business. Times are tight. Michigan just happens to be at the bottom of the barrel. Rounds of layoffs are hitting state departments. At first I felt panicked, then sad, and finally just worn out. Looks like I’m safe for now but will possibly get slammed at home sweet library home in June of 2010.

Maybe my generation will be the next Great Generation. The next Great Generation on Facebook. I’ve seen status updates from people thrilled their spouse qualified for unemployment.

Facebook status: Holiday cards gonna be real brief this year fellas.
