Realizing I haven’t taken time off since starting the new job this year. A couple of one-day to extend a weekend things, but not a proper vacation. I don’t even feel upset about it. New job is so chill compared to the old one that every day feels like a vacation. Though I do need to make sure I don’t cap out on my accrual.

I am two weeks into my new project.
Low stress, easier commute, all my coworkers are brilliant and fun to be around.

Strongly considering a hooky-day on Monday... sounds like they got some actual good terrain opened at Winter Park last weekend... might be worth the early season conditions.

Also on the bright side - got me some gummies and some chocolate... now I just need to get to a point in my day that I can commence the couch-lock!

My old Unions Pension Fund has gone Bankrupt or Unfunded. I am not sure what that means for me. This is bad.

It means you get nothing but but a pittance from social security if you paid into it.

Not quite true. It means that the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation takes it over, and then you get a smaller pension via them instead. (Social Security is its own thing, of course.)

One of my uncles was (is?) an actuary for PBGC, and tells of much illness in the financial well-being of many a pension fund out there.

my sister and her husband worked for another division of the same parent company I work at, they both left several years ago and have since had their pensions bought out.
