15 more weeks...

With slow business, rumors of layoffs and other crap going around my job and Anime Boston in 4 months, I think I may have three options for me to utilize if I do lose my job.

Either way...
I WILL GO TO ANIME BOSTON 2009!!

Okay, as of January 20th, I have saved up $500 so far. My goal is the $1800 region. I hit that goal last year, but that was before the recession bullcrap. But now that everybody's paranoid about the economy, including me, I've figured out how many weeks it'll take me to reach that goal of around $1800.

If I save up around $100-$120 for 12-15 weeks, I will most likely hit my goal. Then, I can go to Anime Boston fully loaded!! But that will only work if business picks up in the spring.

If the event that it doesn't and I get laid off in late April early May, I can still get a hotel room for the con, but I'll have to cut the days there to 2. If I hit around $1000-$1200, I can do that if I get laid off.

But in the event I get laid off at the end of Feburary, that will affect everything, but I can still enjoy a day at Anime Boston if I get around $700 or more. I did this once before when I first went to Anime Boston in 2006.

So, those are my 3 scenarios for me going to Anime Boston 2009 if things do or don't improve. Like I said before...

I WILL GO TO ANIME BOSTON 2009!!!!! OR I WILL KILL MYSELF!!!!

I'm NOT going to miss it!!!!!!!!

You make it sound so exciting. I've never gone to anything like that before. Good luck :D

Where do you work, if you don't mind my asking?

Yay, good way of looking at it Mario. You will get to go to Anime Boston 2009. Your job is going to be saved and then you will have the money. ^^

I'm working for Berry Plastics. It's a big tube making company. And I'm going to need all the luck I can get if business doesn't pick up. A co-worker told me that if we run out of big jobs, we're screwed.

Hopefully all the big jobs will start picking up soon as well. Man what a tough time this is. Not that many people realize we are in trouble.

Business at my job better pick up. I hate being paranoid!
