The past week was very tiring and stressful because of the thanksgiving holiday the week before! There is just double the workload when you come back from the holidays so those days off just means delaying your work rather than the traditional thinking of “getting days off”!

To think of it optimistically, the fact that there are many things to do means you are important to the company! While I try to trick convince myself that I love my job, enjoy these fine articles from around the blogsphere!

• My Two Dollars asks whether anyone gets cars for Christmas! I’m sure everyone will pretty much say no but I’ve heard in my high school days where someone bought a car for his girlfriends for her birthday so never say never!
• Money, Matters and More Musings talks about everything he learned from his job hunting experience!
• Gen X is heavy on the financial market articles and this is a great one that tries to predict the future by looking at the past of the stock market visually!
• Five Cent Nickel talks about some lies that financial advisers tell! This is definitely a must-read for anyone that is looking into getting a financial adviser!
• I really appreciate Ningpo’s comments this week (and last) so check out his site!

Carnivals I have participated in:
