Don't worry, school isnt that important in the real world. If you don't make it through you can always find a good career scrubbing public toilets or something.

Well I'm going to go through law school and get my little paper degree with the sole purpose of making connections of money and running for congress or senate some day. In another words I'm going to be using my law degree I'm going to spend 4 of the next years of my life on and then use to it to wipe my ass with in 20 years.

I'm at work on the internet, i should be doing so many other things right now.
the majority of my work is done for the day except for the filing. i hate filing.

@ 3.30 est we're going to a meeting to be told about the 2nd round of layoff's coming to our company. the kid in teh cube behind me left b/c he got sacked. (i always loved that english expression for getting fired) he was a fuck up who took to many smoke breaks and while i'm a little bumbed out he's gone, i'm more pissed i'll probably receive a share of his work now that he's gone. if you ever get called into your bosses office on a friday...late...you're probably fired. they turned his key card off, they turned his lgn/pw info off. all morning he's like "man, i can't get into JD Edwards(accnting sw we use)". after that i kinda knew he was fucked.

oh and my 401(k) is in teh fukcing toilet. :cry:

Is a 401k like a P45?

401(k)= profit sharing retirement fund. from what google/wiki tells me p45 is a form you fill out after being fired? am i close?

some compaines in the US offer to contribute $ to your retirement fund from your gross income before income taxes are taken.
so t.rowe price (a financial investment firm) has a retirement account for me that my employer and i both contribute.

This is based upon my age and needs they put the money into small cap funds/moneymarket funds/ mutual funds/stocks/bonds etc...

Because i'm young and 30 years from retirement i selected agressive portfolio and have lost a chunk% of the previous net value....but hell i'm not near retirement like some people who've lost a whole lot more than me...christ i am thirsty for a glass of burbon right now.

Yes but when you leave jobs or fired you get a p45 it has all your tax code things onit so your new employer knows how much to give the tax man gggrrrr.
Similar thing happens in the UK, we get state pensions if we put enough money in the pot so to speak.

Sit tight OT, only people set to retire in the next few years should be worried about their 401K. This correction will allow the rest of us to purchase stocks at fairer prices that will benefit us even more in later years.

Soon to be retired folks who are still mostly in stocks only have themself to blame as you should be moved into mostly fixed income securities once your retirement horizon is less than 5 years.

seriously they always fire people on Friday. I forget exactly what logic management uses to figure on this being the best time, but that's always the time.

Probably something to do with Friday being the last day in a working week or because Friday is typically considered as being pay day therefore making it easy to adjust the books.

Coming from management I learned, it's done on Friday because you are less likely to hold a grudge and or cause a scene at the workplace, because Friday is an easygoing day considering the thought of the weekend was already on your mind.

Pretty loosely based but it does work.

that's exactly what it was, or at least that's what the sociology class that I took on the subject said it was. and as long as I was at my old job, everyone who was fired was fired on Friday, which would tend to back that theory up.
