Discussion about this date:
I was looking back on old emails when I noticed this date. This was the day that I quit a horrible job. They had failed to pay me on time and I finally decided that enough was enough. The stuff about the crisis is interesting. A couple of months before this, I remember speaking to a construction worker who said that house sales were falling and that some of their sites had closed. Little did I realize that the biggest financial crisis of our generation was standing on our doorstep!
