If you're like me, you're not happy at all about 2009.
As of this evening,
no signs of economic recovery have yet emerged,
and it feels like people haven't even gone back to work.
2008 in contrast was a year in which
we lived like there was no recession.
Because we didn't yet know we were in one.
At least until our Q4 budgets were already allocated.
