2009 was the year some of the public began to realize it....

2008 was the year when serious cracks started to appear in the system. The end of credit, the beginning of the long emergency.

2009 is the year when we start to feel it.

Work was commenced on the Funerary temple of Mentuhotep III. And Lindsay Lohan checked into rehab at some point, I think.

... a great year for active investors who use profits for preps.

... the year a lot of preconceptions went up in smoke.

2008 was a walk in the park in comparison to what's coming down the pike in 2009 and beyond.

[Ferretlover]

... was an extremely long year, but I suspect there will come a time when we wish it was 2008 again.

..."not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure." And that's an understatement.

For me also 2008 was a long year.

I'm afraid it's going to piss people off that I say this, but 2008 was a great year for me. I'm working a lot more. I actually have three jobs now, so even if I lost one, it wouldn't be that bad. The only job stresses that I'm having right now is that people want me to work more. 2006-7 was a very hard time for me, but right now I'm doing great. As always, personal situations color our view of the world. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells a lot because I'm all smiles and people are having a hard time and don't want to hear it.

In the words of REM "It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine."
