One year closer to old age pension happy birthday CJ
There are no pensions anymore, at least according to my old company's bankruptcy proceedings. And our employee stock program stock's value is now zero. Hooray for hard work and years of loyalty!
I love being on call during Christmas / Thanksgiving / Hollidays. Either time and a half or double time. Plus I can usually get in there, get the trouble fixed, and get out of there pretty quickly.That is some really depressing news. =PYeah I get to work Thanksgiving and more likely then not Christmas as well. Yipee.I just found out I'm on call at work on my birthday...and christmas.
:(
It's fine if you get paid by the hour. Sucks to be salaried.
If your still in a voting mood after hitting the polls.

That's nothing. When I left my last job to move out here and start something new, I had put the house up for sale. Since I still had the mortgage and couldn't afford that AND rent, I cleaned out my old 401k and used to to pay the mortgage for six months until it sold.
Didn't realize until two years later, when I received a notice of taxes owed from the IRS, that because the 401k's deductions were before taxes (which every 401k adviser said was best), I owed the taxes on that money as soon as I cleaned it out. Not to mention I never received anything from the 401k about taxes owed.
So, how much do you have in your 401k if you have the deductions before taxes? About 75% of what you actually see there, since income tax is usually around 25% for middle-class income.

Well, I did get Thanksgiving off to go home and visit family. We're celebrating my grandmother's 90th birthday this year, family coming from all across the US and even beyond to celebrate. I think having to be on call Chrstmas is worth being able to celebrate that.Yeah I get to work Thanksgiving and more likely then not Christmas as well. Yipee.I just found out I'm on call at work on my birthday...and christmas.

Still a bummer you have to be on call for both your birthday and Christmas.
When my dad was a missileer in the Air Force, there were several years we had to celebrate Christmas before or after the 25th.

#9 is the best and most effective.
#9 is the best pick up line ever.
Of course the one I remember him using in the the books is "Haven't we met in one of my better dreams?"

Yup, salaried. ON call 24/7 for a week at a time 1/month, with no extra pay. Except December, when I'm on call twice.
whee.
Never worked someplace that had a pension. I'm also assuming, at 32 (soon to be 33), that I will never see a dime of social security. So, it's all on me!
*sneaks into thread to see if there are any pokemon lurking*
Well we still have a good pension fun and 401 k matching.
Working for a charity, I have 403b. Unsure as to whether or not that's still the shiznit.

Yikes...I'm sorry to hear that, Treppa.
Ability to read other people's code? Come on now, be reasonable!

I can't read (or pronounce) my own code after a week has passed. Last time I tried to pronounce somebody else's... well... something appeared... things got ugly... that building is razed now.

I remember one project in college I put off until the night before. It would be simple. no problem to complete that night.
then I got sick.
I ended up raving in a delerious fever while hopped up on cold medicine and caffiene. I finished the project at about 5 a.m., then crashed for a few hours. The next day, after my illness cleared up enough that I was able to mostly think rationally again, I checked the executable I turned in - it ran perfectly. I tested it with boundary conditions, it handled them wonderfully.
Then I looked at the code.
It was absolutely incomprehensible. I spent hours trying to figure out what I'd been doing, and how I'd made it work. Never did manage to figure it out...
it was a little bit frightening.

On the bright side, the C-level execs who drove the company into bankruptcy never missed a multi-million bonus! That's the important thing.
Am I bitter? No, no....
Good morning FAWTL.
Go VOTE! (But only once, please.)
I got to watch the grandkids when my daughter and son in law went to vote. Pandora likes to bounce.
I guess the LPM paid the FAWTL bill in the nick of time. It's what our taxes go for.
And the World's Series headline looked like my upcoming D&D session results: "Giants crush Rangers!"
Heheheheheheheh...
Everything Cali got that was good came from NY. GO NEW YORK GIANTS!
DOHP!
Yeah yeah yeah, laugh it up.Happy Birthday CJ - Welcome to the FAWTLy 40 and over club!Thank you.HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
You're over 40? That's too bad.
