Cheer me up.

I just found out what happened to the loan I took against my 401K when I left last gig.

I had 90 days to pay it back, in full. (UH.)

If I had that lying around, I surely would not be making payments on it, bubbie.

So - it goes to default, probably hits my credit report, will definitely be reported as a distribution and I'll get taxed on it...yadda ya.

OUCH.

Yes, I truly thought that job would last forever. Silly me.

When I think of where we were in April and where we are now?

Not stupid. Just couldn't predict the future.

And who got to do what to ask for billions in bailouts?

Riiiight.

Cheer me up.

To the good?

Balancing act here, guys.

At the new gig, there's a guitar player making a living as a kick-ass programmer who puts all kinds of awesome on the network.

And he has an incredible memory and equally good taste in awesome.

We were talking about the Smothers Brothers this morning. We ended up there after having to listen to hold music torture - and I was naming and dating the songs. (SAD.)

And he told me what he remembered.

And then pointed me at the song. On the network drive.

Awesome awesome awesome. Here, have some of it. 60's vintage, and yes - it's over ten minutes long.

MORE COWBELL THAN YOU CAN HANDLE.

Chambers Brothers - Time Has Come Today

Yes, I am in the right place.

Now, if I can just stop getting kicked in the teeth everytime old gig comes back to haunt me....
