high apple pie, in the sky hopes
friday i have an interview at the bank. if i get the position i'm interviewing for, the pay raise would be about ten thousand per year. this is a lot. i'm nervous as all heck, because i do not interview well, but i truly think that i am qualified for this position. if i get this job, i will:
stop worrying about money.
plan the best honeymoon ever.
celebrate with a thirty dollar steak.
start looking at townhomes again.
contribute more to my 401k.
well, i probably won't contribute more to my 401k, despite the advice that the "latte factor" guy gives in his compelling book "the automatic millionaire." i hate saving for retirement because i have this awful feeling that i'm going to be hit by a bus the day before i'll qualify for any of that stuff. it kills me; i still have a pension plan with the optical that's earning interest, and by the time i'm able to draw funds on it, it'll be about 30,000 (and that's a conservative estimate). it kills me when i get those statements in the mail. i know that the pension people are banking on my early death or forgetful mind (pension plan? what pension plan?), and i'd much rather have my vested amount now so i could go out today and buy:
a used car,
three margaritas,
a new suit,
and some vacuum cleaner bags.
anyhow, wish me luck. and if you have any good answers to the "biggest weakness" question, let me know, because all of my responses are completely inappropriate.
