Poll: How are you being affected in this recession?

It's been awhile since I've updated this blog. Sorry-things have been hectic lately.

Anyway, I'm going to step away from the topic of chess for this post and focus on the current recession. How is it affecting you and your family? Have you or anyone you know been laid off from a job?

As for me, luckily I've been gainfully employed so far, but as an employee of a consulting organization, it is becoming harder to land commercial clients. I also do know of some friends who have been laid off from their jobs.
