Moving On Up

Last week my company completed its transition to a new office space high above most others. The view is stunning, just as much as one of my student's reactions. While discussing the move he casually said, "I really like the new place, but did you know it used to be a main office for **** (a competat
or that went under)? I think your company will go bankrupt too!"

We both had a good laugh, but there is a shadow of truth to his statement. It is hard to tell how the financial crisis in the US will pan out. For God's sake, my bank went bankrupt!
