I have skated through 2 more weeks without a WARN notice. I am hearing about several IT staffers taking the VLP, still mostly people I don't know. AJ was slightly optimistic in our staff meeting. He mentioned that CSNA is starting to get orders again. He has not attended WARN training and our project is still important. The contractors are (finally) starting to trickle out the door. He also asked the newbie if Scott has coordinated any training for him yet. That seems like a good sign.

The talking heads continue to blather about what's right and wrong with the govts actions. What I know is whatever happens, we'll have higher interest rates and taxes. The rest is a crapshoot, so I need to position us for those realities. This week was depressing, market wise, but I am still employed. At least for 60 more days. Surprisingly, we get a fed tax refund this year.

health, family, home, job, investments...in that order
