feldmanThe hostage saga of my retirement monies has resolved, to wit:
1. I never have to talk to Former Employer ever again.
2. The Cmonkey is now officially Paid Off.
3. We are now in a place of Infrastructure Rebuilding, as opposed Scrabbling for Daylight.
4. Our 401k rollover hit on the Very Best Day Possible, when the stock market had effectively gone on sale.
Of course, the squee is somewhat harshed by the fact that contraception continues to be an infuriating issue. But I can't go into details right now or else I'll lose my calm. And I had to go chop down a sapling in the abandoned yard next door with a rusty axe to gain that calm*. I'm out of saplings and my arms are shot.
Instead, I shall continue fondling my shiny laptop, the coolest feature of which right now is the fact that I can type!
*urban paradise visitors will recall the tree growing up through what had been the playscape area, before the rednecks stole the playscape with our tacit approval.

This does beg the question, though: does everyone on LJ have an icon that says "SQUEE" somewhere?

And while it's good to utilize one's company 401k to the full extent of any matching funds--never let them have control over your entire nest egg. Fuckers. *throws them the evil eye for good measure*
I think most have a "SQUEE" icon and the majority also have something in the vein of "fuck you and the horse you rode in on". Icons are the next evolution of emoticons, right?

This is the laptop I will take to grad school, when the time comes. I have plans.
