I poked my nose into the tracking site for one of my 401Ks, and saw that since the last statement (period ending June 30th) it has lost 14% of its value. AGAIN. I’m soooo sad. It’s not like there was enough in there to actually retire on, but hell, that’s painful. And now I’m afraid to move my money around (into less-volatile funds) because I just have so damned many shares of the ones I’m in, that it seems a shame to move them. After all, as of this second, the Dow is 320 points higher than it was when I woke up, so maybe tomorrow my 14% will be back.

One can only hope.

Here’s what the Sanford (Uni-ball) people had to say, in case anyone else out there is looking for those pens (and I know you are…I see the search words you use to get to my site. Dang, those fireworks pens got me a LOT of traffic.)

You may want to try your local Sav-on Drug Store for the # 60038 3-pk of

uni-ball Onyx Rollerball Pen.

You can also try www.shoplet.com for ordering most Sanford and Paper Mate

items on-line. If you can order by the dozen call Standard Office (800)742-8247, Gray

Enterprises (800)970-7367 or www.kingpen.com.

That would be when my sister ended up with cat poop completely covering the bottom of her shoe. It allowed to follow her around the grocery store (after she’d cleaned up) saying “Do you smell something?” very loudly.

Heh.

Whew! Finished updating the Dump so you have my full attention again. Well, okay, not my FULL attention.

It was timesheet day today. My supervisor comes by in the morning and signs my timesheet for the week. That means I have to determine by 11am what time I’m staying until. Today I said I was staying until 4:30pm. Because I’ll only get paid until then, you can bet I won’t “accidently” stay until 5:00pm.

I’m starting to really stress out about the fact that my contract ends on August 15th. I would REALLY like an extension, considering how barren monster.com has been lately.

I’m trying to update the main dump, so if I had anything I was going to say here, I’ll probably save it for there. I think maybe it will be posted by 10pm tonight, which is way past my bedtime.
