Unemployment media is everywhere.... time to switch it off.

Switch on the TV: Job cuts, budget deficits, highest percentages ever

Go on the internet: Drudge Report, Twitter, even Facebook is becoming a debby downer now.

Ok folks, we're in a recession. They made it "official" in December of 2008 (as if being in one for all of the previous year wasn't official enough) and since then, it's been one depressing moment after another.  I have Time Warner cable now, and when you switch on your cable box, the first channel it takes you to is the local NBC 24 news channel.  I think in the past week, every time I switch on and that channel comes up, the same story is being repeated, over and over again.  

Look, it's obvious that this is real and cannot be avoided.  I'm not saying we should hide from it, or shouldn't worry, but I think everyone could use a bit of a break from the doom and gloom.  Some of us are living in it, some of us are living in fear that we're next, but none of us need the constant reminder.

Watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, relax for a little while, and maybe put it on mute just in case...
