I realize that it has been months since I've last posted. After Obama won the Presidency in November, there didn't seem to be much to say. I hope that he does well, if nothing else, for the sake of the country. It appears that no one is truly in charge anymore, or that anyone has the answers to both the financial crisis, and the deep political divide that still haunts this country. This country desperately needs responsible leadership, and I don't believe that Obama is the right person to provide it. I sincerely hope that I am wrong. That said, it will be amazing to watch history be made once again. At 28, I've already watched so much history be made. I wonder what things will be like when I am 90!
On a personal note, I've been working for Best Buy during the holiday season. I really enjoy it, and I hope that it continues, although that is out of my hands. I'm still very much trying to get my career going. If it is in the works for me to pursue a career at Best Buy, I would certainly welcome it. I enjoyed working there that much. More than anything else, it was the people that I worked with that made (make) it great.
I wish that I could say that 2008 was a great year, but quite simply, it wasn't. Economically, things have only gotten worse in Michigan, especially the tri-city area. Once again, I've been extremely close to getting my career going only to have things slip through my hands. I can't gain more experience if no one is willing or able to provide me with the opportunity to work. I'm certainly hoping that 2009 will provide me with a fresh start career wise.
