What would I be if I weren't a reporter?

Ben and I have put off buying new windows for at least a year, in part because of the bleak outlook for newspaper employment and possibly my career. A growing number of people I actually know has been laid off, demoted, bought out or encouraged to retire. I think - I hope - my job is safe. But I'm not fully confident of it. Here are the details of almost 1,000 newspaper jobs eliminated in the past week across the country. So we're saving money, not spending it, and I'm going through a lot of unpleasant what ifs.
