Typical of spoiled people who are used to living on $200k a year suddenly finding out that they will be living on a normal wage they can't handle it



It's sad really


I know the feeling of a lay off. Mine came as a surprise for Christmas!
I had to suck it up and take a lower paying job to make ends meet. Some trades think they run the universe! Welders are notorious for it!
I'm afraid that some will be humbled by the economic situation....

There's not a day that goes by without me putting my hand in the tank. Why is that? Is that my inner OCD? Am I the only one? lol

.... although in my case, since I'm a tele skier, they kind of don't apply that well either. Note to self, contact the smily people to design a telemarking banane.

I went up to Silver Star again this morning hoping for another hit of cold smoke, but alas, temperature inversion arrived earlier than forecast & it was actually raining in the village!

Meanwhile back down in the valley & Vernon, it's still chaos after the major snow storm. Main roads are ok, but they haven't done very many residential streets. I actually got stuck trying to get back to my parking spot in the alley behind my house.
