Year in Review: 2008

I like to write a good annual year in review post. Let’s start with the good:

  • Megan and I have a very strong relationship after a year
  • New Job has been going good
  • Grad School is working out well
  • I finally bought a Mac
  • Obama won which is cool because it ruins some European’s view of America as this racist spot, when we can elect a minority as President, and you can’t seem to make that happen in your perfect world, plus he’ll do a good job I think.

And the not so good:

  • Enormous Losses – a friend died too young, amongst many sacrifices we’ve seen this year
  • The economy – it hurts to see people losing their job
  • A lay off (or two) – I got laid off in March, while it sucked I was back at work in 3 weeks. I can’t say the same for some peers however

Overall, it feels worse than it looks on paper: the good of Megan doesn’t cancel out the still painful loss of a friend, and the bad economy. The lay off I got over quick because I was at a job quick (I was leaving anyway probably, but other lay offs have caught others, and they are suffering now).
