time to start looking for a new career path

I was wondering how long it would be before gas prices hit the news. There was actually a story on the cover of the Sentinel today too. It's funny how not having a car really makes this all seem less immediate for me, though it has affected my social plans. Why, just last night there was a brief discussion of going to Saugatuck, but us environmentally-conscious peeps decided not to (or rather us cheap bastards decided against it).

In other local news, JCI--Holland's largest employer--is cutting 300 jobs this week. This one hits home as a co-worker of mine's husband has worked there for 17 or 18 years and just found out today that he is indeed out of work. Is it just me or does it feel like Holland is everyone's bitch these days? No wonder I know so many people out of work. At least we have Tulip Time revenue to look forward to. Who's willing to help out Holland and head down here for the Jars of Clay concert?!?!

And speaking of jobs, can anyone explain how in the name of bleeding Jesus it's possible that writer is listed as the #25 best job in America and librarian is nowhere to be found?
