Countdown to the Winter Olympics: 4 days. YAHOO
I am so excited. Even though they are on late at night it is fun to watch what I can. I love speedskating, and some ice skating, and love watching bicycle racing in the dome with the banked curves. And I also like ski jumping, mogulas, and of course bobsled. I do not care for fencing, boxing, weightlifting or wrestling. And once in a while I like watching the shooting contest where they ski and then stop and shoot.
As of today I am offically a Xerox employee. Xerox bought out ACS so now I work for ACS a subsidery of Xerox. I do not know what this does to my benefits yet but they are to tell us sometime. Xerox gives 6 weeks of vacation and ACS gives 5 so maybe I will get 1 more week of vacation out of it. Maybe they have a better retirement plan that the State does as far as health insurance for retirees. They will accept the number of years worked for ACS who accepted the number of years we worked for the State. So I now have 25 years with Xerox.
I took a hit in the market the last 2 weeks. I decided to move $1000 in 4 of my retirement accounts to more aggressive stocks and so far have lost $50 in each one. Still hoping for those green numbers each day. But so far only red.

Well, you win some you lose some I guess. Gaining a weeks vacation and losing $40 bucks isn't too bad. IMHO
