Did 2 weeks just pass already?
Hmmm, it's Sunday morning and I haven't listened to a church service in months. I did not cry yesterday, so there's that. I fiddled around on the work laptop till about 5p so that helped.
Let's just do a quick work, money, life update then, shall we!
Work
I still love slash am obsessed with my boss! I just want to do a really good job and make her proud to have me on her team and that she chose me. Mommy issues much? I'm so sad and disappointed when she doesn't pay attention to me. It's weird.
The hot goss is that her role had pushed out this old white guy that was her boss. Now he's back! I've never been so embroiled in office drama. It's mostly exciting in the moment but easily forgettable when you work virtually. It's funny because they like to talk about Old white guy having no call center experience eventhough he worked at the company for 22 years but yet recently hired Young white guy at the call center who also has no experience. Humans.
I just hope she doesn't see it as an affront because I sure do.
My "buddy" on our team sent me a nasty-gram adjacent email about how "we" should keep each other in the loop and check in with each other so we aren't sending duplicate emails. Mind you, she's the one who didn't CC me on an email. Humans.
Twice now Manager has put me on the spot in a meeting that I ended up leading unbeknownst to me. So I think my staying quiet in meetings has either been brought to her attention or she's trying to develop me into a public speaker. I don't actually have a problem with public speaking, but I'll leave her be. As I like to say, if you keep paying me, I'll keep doing what you say.
Money
Finally did my 3rd quarter update. It took a couple weekends. First I just updated all my balances. Investments are looking pretty good. It is pretty fun to see the accounts I stopped contributing to still continue to grow! I finally invested some of the excess cash I'd been holding on to. It's mostly the death benefit from my aunt. At the end of the month, I am hoping to invest more out of the savings account. It was tied up in trying to get a $200 bonus from opening a new savings account, but it should be free in a couple days.
A back burner goal is to consolidate some of these accounts, but I'm still under 10, so it's not a priority right now. Nothing too remarkable for regular expenses. I was letting cash stay in checking accounts to wait out the Virus and New Job. Oh I have to remember to let $5k stay in savings to pay for this hospital bill I may or may not have to pay when things return to normal.
Other than that, my default is just to let 1.5 months expenses stay in both checking and savings. And then invest the rest. Despite opening at least a dozen accounts this year for the sign-up bonus, I haven't found a checking account to replace my regular checking. And I'm still looking for one. I had a list of requirements somewhere. I know I would love some sort of auto-feature that would sweep money into savings if the checking balance was greater than x amount, for starters.
Life
I ended up scheduling a weekly virtual game night with my cousins. We've had 3 so far. Meh. I don't know what my dearly departed sainted aunty wants me to do. Right now I just want to clone my boss and make her my friend. So that is to say I still could use a friend of my very own and someone to take care of me. That probably would need to be 2 people.
I think that's it for now.
