I'm Just a Bill, Yes, I'm Only a Bill

I am spending the better part of the day getting our accounts back in order. Of course, I have taken plenty of ADD breaks in the form of MySpace, YouTube and MTV2.
I have Ms. L to thank for reintroducing me to the joys of music videos. Just what a recovering music junkie needs, more input! At least this is cheaper than buying more CDs.
I found a sweet live version of "Fake Plastic Trees" that I set on replay until the Things complained "Dad, change the song!" I am not sure what it is about that song that makes me so happy and melancholy at the same time. Rumor has a new Radiohead out this year. It will be interesting to see how they change their sound this time around.
Anyway, the bills are no longer on the hill; they are the hill. I moved us into this career change with a bit of a backup, but we are moving through the liquid and credit assets rather quickly. Believe ALL the advice about keeping 4-6 months salary in backup. The transition can be done with less, but it only adds to the stress. Instead of looking at an opportunity with objectivity, you might find yourself worrying whether it is the last offer for a few weeks and getting hungry. My advice, stick to your guns; it has to feel right, and then worry about the compensation.
On that note, the placement team is looking at some opportunities. Nothing will likely move this week, but things should start moving next week.
