"Conservative" and "cranky" do seem to go together more now than ever before... but I don't suspect you of anything more than enlightened self-interest.

just found out another friend lost her job, with 11 others (which sounds like a lot of employees for a design store … then i read a snatch of what is presumably the proprietor's blog, december, "i'm in new york city, it's great, etc." and think, yeah, happy wage-gap, america).
cranky!
