Missing the depression

This is a time of great turmoil. Every day a new story of somebody lost his or her job, or a factory running at 10% or one version or another of doomsday scenario is the order of the day. Personally, i am loosing my own business as well. By some dumb luck, my partners talked me into stupid hot dog business. We no longer call it business, but charitable feeding of Penang folks. With this depression on going at full gale now, my client abandoned me by drove. So i decided to shut down the store. It doesn't cause me depression, but rather give me a sense of relief. Luckily, my day job look safe at the moment. I do not know if i will be able to find something if i loose my job now.

I missed the 1997-1998 depression because of my age. I was a student in UK. However, it hits Malaysia much more badly then than now. I can only hope this round, the great feeling of hopelessness for people who are badly hit by economy downturn will miss me again.

For you folks out there, good luck.
