Right now, there are two guys installing $6k in parts and labor to replace the furnace and condenser for the a/c for the kitchen, den, and backroom.
My 401(k), like many others, has seen better days.
Due partly to Katrina and the maritime insurance industry being as cyclical as it is, we’ve hit hard times at the office. We’ve been concentrating on reducing spending and waste as much as possible, but sometimes that just isn’t enough. Not only are there no bonuses this year, I’m taking a $10k salary reduction. One lady here, who is both great at her job and as a person, is losing her job.
Time to tighten the belt and just put my nose to the grindstone.
I know people in maritime insurance, I think. Do you work for a guy named Bill J.?
Nope.
