The past week at work was a long one with a lot of overtime yet no increase in pay; woos of a salary employee. Your salaryman in the IDF though has less than four months to go and in that time I am figuring out the next steps. My biggest concern moving forward is lodging especially as I do not wish to return to my six car garage and maid service. On the plus side, my apartment now has air conditioning.
Not only was last week filled with fun, but there was political drama both aboard and domestic. The sit-in on the Floor by House Democrats for gun control was quite inspiring to watch and passed the time on a guard shift. Unfortunately not enough came of it, but America does need to change its’ gun control laws such as licensing and education. The same metric is applied to getting a driver’s license.
The events on Thursday caused me to lose $40 for now as the markets took a hit from Brexit. I am not a regular gambling man, but having a small amount of money in an IRA is always a risk. What would be riskier would be selling anything I have especially as the markets will recover. I still need to be looking into diversifying my portfolio though.
