401k

Yay! I have just set up my 401K at work, which was one of my New Year's Goals; contributing 6% at the moment. I will increase the percentage to 10 or 12% by mid-summer. They re-did the online access so it was really easy to get to; the whole thing took maybe 1/2 an hour inbetween customers. Living without the 50 bucks or so a pay-period will be harder, I guess. Ah well. It'll be nice to retire someday. I figured out something else at work, that's been bothering me subliminally. You know when something reminds you of something else but you can't think of what it is? I have a co-worker who I used to think looked like a monkey. Then I thought, maybe more like a pug. But today I realized that what she is is a walking Troll doll! It struck me with great force. Her hair is a little shorter than average troll-doll hair, but is colored an appropriate red-violet. Observe:







She's a nice lady but not much of a bank teller. Now when she screws something up I will just think quietly, "troll!". And laugh. Silently.
