My boss is nice
Yesterday Catalyst employees were trying to gather money together for donations to the Red Cross. Everyone was very happy to give so I suggested that the company match the employee contributions. Jason, my boss, said he would be happy to match whatever we contributed. I posted this to inspire others to ask their employers to match any contributions made to the relief effort.
On another note yesterday about 5:00pm was a dark day for the American people. While watching the network news I felt absolutely disgusted and sick to my stomach about our government leaders and how they just left the people of New Orleans, mostly poor and black, to fend for themselves. I just kept saying over and over "how can something like this happen?" "why aren't we doing anything?" "wtf is going on?!"
As this week fades into next it will be interesting to see how the governments spins their response to this crisis.

Today was my last day so I made sure to get a matching donation before I left. ha. That is awesome for Catalyst. It is great to see that the people can pick up the slack where our stupid ass government failed.
There is a good comparison of what certain authorities were saying at the same time here. http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/09/02/katrina.response/index.html
