Recession Fatigue - the new Workplace Fad

Now that Swine Flu isn't so exciting anymore for the unscrupulous media and business hysterics, we need to move onto the NEXT THING (unless you're that poor kid (life=ruined)).

Recession Fatigue has my vote. You know it's real when Forbes says it is.

Found a funnier posts about this topic from Well Heeled, with a Mission. I also cringe when I hear "in this economy" - same reaction that I used to get to hearing "sea change" during the late 90's.

I have fad fatigue. That's a real thing too, but there is seemingly no cure.

Contemplating the Tidal Aspects of Economics Recently

Everyone seems to be on the band wagon that the economy is terrible - but my company is doing fine, and so is my husband's, so in spite of having a minor cut in my bonus, everything is still the same. I'm guessing this is the case for a lot of people, except those who unfortunately have lost their jobs. Gas is cheaper and food and utility costs and my mortgage payments aren't any higher than they were last year, when the economy was fine.

So I am officially not participating in the recession, and recently splurged on myself at the day spa (with my credit card rewards - I'm not that crazy). If everyone who has a job did this, we would be okay and maybe we could start an undertow pulling the economy out the other way.
