I'm on a workshare two day work week this week, average three. Sounds great all that time off, only thing is there's no money for all the fun things. Still waiting for the economy to catch up with the bankers chant; "There are definite signs the economy is recovering." I wonder if they actually believe that or they want us to so we spend money again?

That sucks on the pocketbook Greg. I think if bankers tell us that enough times, we might believe it...
Mind you I am still seeing lots of Bentleys, Mazzeraties, Ferraries, Jags, Mercedes, and Astin Martins driving down 4th street everyday and BMW's are as common as toyotas in Calgary I've noticed, so who knows...
As long as the housing market stays on the level while I wait to finish school then sell the condo and buy a house in the next year+ I'm happy. I just hope it doesn't get too crazy like it did a year and a bit ago.

It is hard. I can't believe the house prices once you get out of the maritimes. It's unbelievable!
