How It went from a Recession to a Depression

For quite a few months, maybe even years, the economic talk has been that we (and by we I mean the world) are in the midst of a recession, while some economists have stated that it is a Depression.

I'm not sure how this is determined, and it really doesn't matter.
As of Wednesday, it officially became a Depression. The Crotchety Old Lady was laid off. Photobucket

So, now I'm concerned. I need to find her a job. Quickly.

I spend my day doing important things, and she gets in the way, wanting do stuff like talk, and Photobucket

Now, TV is one of my favorite things, but I watch important things like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Step by Step, Comedy Central, Food Network, ESPN, YES (Yankee games), and Spongebob. She watches stupid stuff like soaps and movies.

My routine is pretty much set, and with Twitter, and blogging, and TV watching, there is no time for stuff like entertaining her. So, apparently, I'll have to take time out of my busy day to find employment for her.

Let's see, she is really good at shoveling snow, but that tends to be seasonal, and it will be at least 6 months or more until we get any more of that cold white here fluff here.

Pirates are in the news, so maybe she could get a job as a pirate

She could pull off the look, but on a ship, she insists on drinks being brought to her, and having access to a buffet every 4 hours. I don't think most pirate ships are staffed like the Pacific Princess.

Lots of older Americans are finding second careers and they work at Wal Mart Photobucket

We do have one right down the street from us, so that is a possibility.

I did think about sending her to MickeyD's for a job, unfortunately, she only speaks English

Que?

Any other suggestions would be welcome. She has a lot of good qualities. She's good at shoveling snow, yard work, and cooking my dinner. I could teach her about blogging so both of us can not make money by blogging.

Forget that. I need to encourage her to get out and find a job before she drives me crazy. It's already been 2 loooooong days.
