The Beginning of a new one......

Yesterday was the swearing in of the 44th President of the United States. Since it was such a momentous occasion, the owner of the company declared it a holiday. The office staff was given the day off, the reservation agents scheduled to work were paid double time. It was quite the nice surprise.
Only time will tell with this presidency. The economy is in the dumps, people are getting laid off, housing is almost at a stand-still. It is going to take some belt tightening to get the U.S. back on its feet. People will go back to buying what they can afford, not what they want. And maybe the Federal government will actually pass a balanced budget, and stick to it.
With the passing of the baton in Washington, D.C., maybe a fresh start in a new career is in order. If the economy has downsized your job, check out job.travel.
