Im curious what makes you say this. I keep hearing from people about how 
"this economy" is a wreck and "the job market" is down... But it seems 
to me (as One Who Is Employed), that everything is pretty ok. I get a 
job offer at least every two weeks, sometimes multiple offers per week. 
I guess its possible that its just DC that's doing okay, but that seems 
unlikely since I hear offers from California (having lots of friends out 
there).

My money market account is down to, yuck, like 1.98% from 3.03%, but at 
least it isnt dropping any more.

Is it that bad in Austin?
