It's really weird to continue to work when all this shit is going on. I called in sick yesterday so I could watch details at home, but I did find I need an escape to all this misery, so I guess I should use work as an escapism of sorts.

Gateway has been really cool. They let everyone go home on Tuesday if one wanted to, to be with loved ones. They have been really supportive of both employees and the victims. However, I find it hard to continue to pursue capitalist ventures when there are more important things going on. No one is going to be buying PCs anytime soon, at least that is what I estimate. There are so many economic pundits theorizing on how this massive devastation will impact both national and global economys. We are all ready seeing such impacts. But I really don't care. It looks like we're going to war. Historically, this has always been good for economy, and these thoughts fill me with an immense sensation of emptiness.
