Well, life’s roller coaster continues.


Sep 17, 2020, 8:27 AM

I’m stupid enough to enjoy the ups and downs I guess. Daughter of got COVID test back yesterday....negative...woot. Within an hour wife’s company sent email to her division that there is a mandatory call today at 11 and they need to cancel all other calls and anyone on vacation or on family leave needs to attend. Let’s just say there appear to be a lot of HR people on the invite list.

I’m telling her we will be fine regardless of what the call is about, but she just isn’t wired that way and is a wreck. I just realized this is the first time she’s faced a layoff vs in my tech background, it was an every other year possibility.

Just have to enjoy this crazy ride because ultimately it takes us all to the same place sooner than we’d like.

There for awhile I was just throwing them in my truck and putting them in the dumpster here at work. But the baby toy packages are huge. If I tried to throw them in the trashcan we wouldn't have any room for actual trash by Tuesday.

We each get paid to our own checking accounts. Each throw $2,500 per month into the joint checking account. Put all joint expenses into the joint credit card, paid for from the joint checking account. When the joint checking account balance gets high, we move it into the joint saving account. Works out very well.
