The State of Things

This is what's happening in my office at this very moment. People gathered round not to celebrate the fact that we finally got a new photo copier that was asked for 2 years ago...but the feeling of sheer panic is permeating through the studio at the idea that money was spent. We've had a lot of layoffs, but now a days after all the halt in spending a new copier to us means a loss of someones wage to make room for the expense. It's the sad state of the economy. I post this because I'm sure it's not just our office doing it.
