(I’m porting this post, and others, over from my old blog because I want my obsession with journals to be all in one place on the internet)
Is your money sinking in shark-infested waters?

Are you running from a blood-red tsunami?

Perhaps a tornado of pink slips?

Or is it just your computer that’s sinking?


No, I’ve got it now…your head’s in a vice!

Or maybe just your stack of cheese?

What’s that? You tried to jump-start your carefully hoarded pile of dollar bills….

…it caused a lightning bolt to travel through your power lines…

and now your cash is just burning! burning!

Try not to panic.

If you find yourself the victim of crippling insomnia…

Just remember, it could be worse.

Think of happy things, like hopscotch.

I was going to do another Bu$ine$$ periodicals Hall of Shame, but the economy has lead to so many deliciously metaphorical covers that I couldn’t just focus on the horribly designed ones (though many of them are here. Even Business Week makes this quasi-Hall of Shame because of the un-originality of its use of Munch.)
