Today was Day Three since I was axed by Compassion and Choices, the non-profit that sponsors death with dignity, but offers very little compassion for employees. Why is it that non-profit groups have to be so dysfunctional? One person at the top makes all the decisions and if she happens to be a little insane and very mean-spirited, the whole operation suffers.
Meanwhile, I still haven't seen any bailout money. I may be a little impatient, but I do have bills to pay, my mortgage hasn't gone away just because some crazy woman stopped paying me a salary. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame Obama personally for not getting my stimulus package to me. Actually, I believe the problem lies with Lawrence Summers. He's the guy advising Obama on how to get us out of this recession. He got himself out of his own recession by giving speeches in return for about $5 million from the very banks he said should get bailout money.
I don't have any money to give Mr. Summers to make a speech or even for a few well-uttered sentences. I would like to give a few speeches myself, and I'd do it for less than $5 million. My message would be to give more money to people like myself who need it. If they would give us this money, I promise to spend it and thereby stimulate the economy.
I'm still out here waiting for my stimulus package, Mr. Summers. Waiting to be stimulated. Put that in your next speech to the big bankers.
