Since the job market now is either dead or in a coma, I decided to take a break and went to see the new James Bond movie (warning, save your money on this one). Before the movie started, I noticed a big movie commercial to promote Christmas shopping. "A bit early, isn't it", I thought. Also, who's going to spend a lot of money on Christmas shopping this year? Why even waste money doing an advertising campaign?
Then I saw this big movie commercial was actually from Walmart.
Oh, well, the economy is apparently so bad that even Walmart becomes the exciting place to do Christmas shopping. It is so bad that even for our nearest and dearest we need to go for the cheap (not Macy's, not Nordstram, honey, I got your gift at Walmart, see how much I saved). OK, maybe I am exaggerating things a bit (since I don't have any family in the States so I don't need to worry about buying Christmas gifts), but if our buying power has diminished so much that Walmart becomes our only choice of shopping, we are really in deep trouble.
I think I can probably forget about job searching this Christmas; maybe it's time to do some shopping at Walmart...
