More numbers

Hmmm, can you tell I've been a little preoccupied with the slide of the economy into the gutter?

Just an update to some numbers from last week:

Since Oct. 11, 2007, the Dow has now dropped 4603.17 points to 9,594.93 as of 1:42 p.m. CDT today. That brings the drop in value of the market since it's peak to 32.42% in just 360 days.

Almost as disheartening? In the week since I last posted numbers on this, it's dropped 1,019 points for a 9.6% loss in 7 days.


Gaming
In lighter news, I have hardly been gaming at all lately. Now starting my fourth week on my new work schedule, it's just hard to find time to play. I'm still cruising along on Worldwinner, since that's basically my second job, but "fun" gaming just doesn't happen. I get home from work, and then it's dinner time and time to get the kiddos ready for bed. By the time that nightly fight is over and they've quieted down and fallen asleep, it's usually 9:30, 10. Then I end up finally relaxing a little and spending some time with Kim, which is about the only quiet time we get together. And all of a sudden, it's 11:30 and I'm tired and ready for bed. So where does gaming even fit in with all of that?

I can't say I'm upset or even unhappy about it; that's just the way life is some times. I'm hoping that as time goes on and we all get more used to the realities of the new schedule, things will get a little easier and my free time becomes a little more free. That remains to be seen, though.
