Yeah, I have to work Saturdays, too -- but my boss is generous enough to let me leave early for musical events. Yesterday I arrived at the Press Room absolutely famished -- I hadn't had time at work to duck out even for a 10 minute lunch break. Hope my next commission check is better than my last (Nov.) one -- it was pretty sick.

Doesn't seem to be a recession as far as sales of glasses goes -- maybe people can't afford Lasik or are using insurance benefits before their jobs go away.
