So I am way behind in retirement investing (had many years where I worked part time bc I wanted to be available as a parent but I'm now seeing the downside of my decision) so I'm having to attack it at all angles and do more than the match at employer s offices. 
 

Im kind of perturbed they won't give my my 6%'match till im

"vested" which I think is like 3 mf ing long years 

#employerscam but whatever at least I keep what I put in.

Not to cold Turkey quit  working for this employer 

I paper traded the company's stock a couple days after they "accidentally" cleared my schedule with no warning by shorting it and "making" $237 which was a tad bit under the amount of unemployment I would have received for the week (if I hadn't taken this job back) .... wish I would have made that play but whatever I'm sharpening my skills

From the conversations about adult offspring continuing to live at home beyond the required obligation.... has got me thinking

Under What circumstances would I allow it?

Most likely never

but I did think to myself I would allow ailing parents to stay ... (maybe adult offspring but rather they not impose) especially if I had a guest house or house so large I never saw or heard them 

I would still charge them rent (and make them earn their keep) although I'd give the elderly on fixed income a break. 

Step-Parenting with a Disneyland Spouse

I got into a heated debate with one of my relatives (mind you her 2 stepkids hated her because she was VERY strict and ended up leaving to live full time with their bio mom so she only had to stepparent for less than a couple of years) who said "once you marry your spouse you HAVE to be highly involved with skids and help your spouse as they request" 

Employers of The Year (Part 2)

Decided to return to co-dependent employer headquarters .... thank heavens it was just part of the day not the whole day.

It was mostly cool good thing a new manager so somewhat fresh re-start, but the ALWAYS busy - for the type of pay, rigid schedule, their stinginess with pto has reminded me to always be looking for next opportunity. My goal = major steps towards promotion/salary increase in T minus 30 days or less.

Glad I didn't have to see the co-workers face2face. I didn't interact with them much (mainly to save time) although I wanted to.

....not! 
 

Well my managers manager calls me and I decided to answer. 

*I shouldn't have answered ugh bc she completely caught me off guard
 

Mind you I'm in the middle of filing unemployment....

Asking me if I'm okay and no explanation as to why my calendar was blank when I first asked weeks ago. 
 

Then asking if I wanted to come back to work for them....tomorrow.  

IDK if I have legal leverage with the FMLA issue or if they're just so hard up for employees after they let a bunch of people go. 
 

Introvert Revelation

How many Step moms or former step moms are introverts?

Part of the reason I left the home I shared with my ex (aka Disneyland Dad of the Year) was that his lazy layaway plan pr0stitute and feral spawns disturbed my peace in my home on a regular basis. When I said something I got dismissed.
