11% RIF this week. More cuts are coming. I was unaffected, and was told I will remain unaffected. Higher actually used the phrase "Last of the Mohicans" lol.

That being said, I learn next week whether I get a new job @ the Bank as a higher level of Investigator, working terrorism finance, drug & human trafficking, internal concerns, all the really meaty stuff. Very stiff competition for this role but I'm confident.

If that turns out not to be, I'll be looking for greener pastures, which is unfortunate as while pay and advancement opportunities elsewhere may be better, you can't really get 'greener' than my current 7 minute commute for the 2 days per week that I dont work from home...

But we shall see.

:rofl2: small fry compared to the pension shortfalls -we're talking new-aircraft-carrier $$ on that.

It's complicated, but basically structural policy/procedure changes moved most of our work to Sri Lanka. Which, frankly, was the right business move. Whether or not our Federal overlords concur remains to be seen. I'm not a regulator; can not and will not speak for them.

I can and will say that going from 40+ hours OT/week to zero sucks. It's like, well, now I have all this time to mod the Z, but no $ to mod with.

Still planning on going FI within the next 18 months tho.

Also spent four hours today schlepping the GF's belongings to her new apt, one floor beneath her old one. She has more shoe boxes than I have sockets + wrenches.

Everyone has their hobby I suppose...

When I worked for Elliott. It was feast or famine. 12 hr days, 7 days a week for months, or 40 hrs a week with no OT with a chance of getting laid off. You learn to live with the 40 hr pay and used the OT when you got it to help pay down your bills.

I’ll let him make decision on which of the 2-ponds to fish,,,haven’t been out in other pond w/Jon boat yet :excited:
I’ll try & do better with pictures today; should be Pops turn to catch the Biggest & most :rolleyes:
As I do him exactly the way he did me as a youngster,,,he always would guide the boat & put me in position for potentially best cast :tup:
I get a great joy watching him pull them in; at 84yrs of age ~ he can still gitter done :tiphat:
