Default Personal Victory!
Well I got laid off on 11/12
But I got 10 weeks severance and with my last paycheck and vacation it end up to be 15 weeks pay
But taxes took over 10K
But that plus my savings meant I could stay afloat for almost a year
But then MD tried to deny my unemployment
After many phone calls, they gave in
But I still didn't have a job
But NOW I DO! SAME MONEY! SHORTER COMMUTE! FEWER HOURS!

With my severance swag I'll pay off the S2000 and the Z24 and get an XBox and put in wood flooring in the kitchen and tv room

VICTORY!

Forgive my crowing. If you ever saw me you'd know I don't much to crow about; so I have to make the most of what comes my way!

Good for you, dude. I'm happy for you. I like tongue and groove oak plank floor. I have gradually put it in kitchen, service porch, one bathroom, long hallway, den in our house. It's wonderful.

No reason to feel guilty about good fortune.

Ya know, I was thinking to adding a Mossburg (sp?) 12 gauge to the El Tianti home defense arsenal
