Banker. We are weathering the storm quite well so far, but unemployment is catching up to consumers and small businesses are starting to run out of gas. They can take downturns of reasonable length, but this one has drug on a long time and it is beginning to erode their staying power. This winter will be tough on small businesses.

Business Systems Analyst for a Financial Call Center. Business is booming for us. We’ve been taking on numerous portfolios for collections and default management.

For once, I am in a job where I don’t have to worry about being laid off. It’s a very welcome change after 5 layoffs in 7 years.

Look at the way Ded Kennedy (D-HELL) is looking at Romney...

You can hear him thinking "STFU and sign you moron..."

No credit...no stock...no operating capital...if the orders DO pick up, we'll need a miracle to get the product...and I know this is happening everywhere...credit lines cut and interest rates up...like a million small businesses, we might not make it at all...already laid off all we can without losing business to poor fulfillment...
