I'm just not afraid. And that scares me a little bit.

Possible "Swine Flu" cases are popping up across the country, the World Health Organization says we may be on the brink of a pandemic, and Egypt is slaughtering pigs. But I refuse to panic.

I'll be honest with you. After 9/11, I was afraid. I was concerned about the potential of more terrorist attacks and a total economic collapse.

An employment agent I know told me about a disturbing new trend he's seen. Lately a couple of his clients have turned down job offers, not because the offers didn't deserve consideration, but because the clients have decided to take the summer off. In this economy, I was shocked to hear it.
