The economy woes hit too close to home yesterday as news that Target was doing layoffs spread throughout the Twin Cities.
I wanted to let everyone know that Nate does still have a job. Thanks to everyone who has called and emailed hoping that he is ok. I think it was a pretty rough day for him. A few of his buddies in his area got let go. He was telling me the one guy moved to Minneapolis for Target from Memphis, with a stay at home wife a two little babies.
As more news of job cuts come across the nation, I find myself more worried about the future and how this can possibly be fixed. I know it can because it has been done before, but it just seems insurmountable right now.
Thinking of Nate (or anyone for that matter) losing his job puts a lot of things into perspective quite quickly. I know I am guilty of complaining about things at my job that frustrate me or annoy me. Now I am just keeping my head down and thankful I have a job.
So thanks again, and if you are looking for ways to help...avoid Wal-Mart---shop Target. :)

Best thing to do now is make sure you are valuable to your company, and make them aware of it...These are scary times...but things always work out.
