JOB

Tonight's word is job.

Sometimes I really don't enjoy my job and today was one of those days. Its not that I don't like what I do, because I do, its that sometimes I don't like situations that Dr. G ends up putting me in. Today for instance....I get a text message from Melanie asking if I can attend a meeting at 11am today. I said sure, no problem, figuring it was something to do with Dr. G but not really that worried about it. She sends a text back, its a meeting with the Vice Chancellor and some of the higher ups dealing with TeleHealth. These higher ups would be the doctor over medicine, the doctor of the private practice plans, the head of the Delta Health Alliance, the CIO, and my personal favorite Dr. K. I have never met Dr. K and have no real need of hopefully ever seeing him again. Dr. K would be one of the vice chancellors and not one I've had the pleasure of meeting before. The meeting kicks off by Dr. K basically looking at me (since I didn't know about the meeting, I wasn't exactly dressed for the occasion) and saying I know who everyone else at the table is, but I don't know you. So much for just being a fly on the wall and not saying a word during the meeting. I then explain my role as head of the FCC Pilot Project (the one actually doing the work) and that I work with Dr. G. I wanted to hurt Dr. G even more now. I knew I wasn't suppose to come to this meeting!!!!!

Anyway, as a result of the meeting, I do have a meeting with the CIO in the morning now. Will this meeting actually result in a job offer? We shall see. Will there be any talk about anything at all...we shall see. Am I ever going to get any sleep tonight.....

4 Figures

We hit 4 figures on the imaginary balance for the mortgage as of yesterday!!!! We are now down to 9916!!!!

Not too much longer now!!!! We have started making the next FAN list. Of course there are 2 trips on the list, one for Disney and one for Ft. Morgan.

We are very close now!!!

April Net Worth

Well, we actually turned a profit this month, so hopefully all the negative months are gone for a while....

Net Worth: 124,155.33 +1.39%
Net Worth w/0 House: 48,704.32 -11.94%
Net Worth w/0 IRA: 13,901.77 -38.06%

YTD:

Net Worth: +4.88%
Net Worth w/o House: -21.94%
Net Worth w/o IRA: -46.46%

Now that we have paid the major tax bills, all categories should start showing positive again.....

:-(

I think Susan finally passed her stuff onto me....Bad Susan!!!

20K

Today is the magical day. We are under the 20K mark in imaginary land!!! After a couple (ok 4) days of not so good solitaire (the survival tournament messed me up on how to plan and I finally remembered again) I have turned it around and cashed out 900+ in 3 days. Which gets us to the magical number of being officially unoffically below the 20K mark, we are now sitting at 19,989!!!!

Go us!!!

I'm thinking we could pay this thing off the last week of July. I mentioned to Susan if there was any way to go ahead and send the last 5,000 from the Vanguard account and she basically said she didn't know how we couldn't....LOL. So if we can stay at a pace of paying 5,000 per month through July, then add the 5,000 from the Vanguard account that last week of July, we will be done!!! Totally debt free!!!!

Mortgage, Work, and Such

The mortgage is defenitely coming along. In imaginary land, we are at the 21.5K level, in the real world, we are out 26.8K. The 26.8K will be coming down by well over 2000 tomorrow once we get the other Paypal payment into the credit union account. Should be able to make close to a 2300 dollar payment. That will be nice and get the mortgage down to 24.5K level.

Work has defenitely been going crazy until today. I pretty much refused to do anything today. I had had enough. There had been 4 days in a row (yes, including Sunday) that I busted my butt. I love getting phone calls at 4pm on a Friday asking me to come up with a grant and to somehow spend 500K. The crazy thing is we will be able to offer 2, if not 3 new services to our hospitals. We will have the Telestroke program, the TelCardiology program, and hopefully the TeleRadiology program. I have a meeting with Radiology next Thursday to talk that one over. Not to mention I have also been working with Medicaid to get our two programs to join together. That will bring out FCC total up to 5.8 Million. If nothing else, that will look good on a resume :-)

March Net Worth

Yet, it happened. With the adjustment for the tax situation, we had a negative net worth for March. We will also probably have a second month of it in April.

Here are the numbers:

Net Worth: 122,456.89 -1,291.89 -1.04%
Net Worth w/o Home: 55,310.09 -12.43%
Net Worth w/o Home or IRA: 22,442.37 -24.74%

YTD:
Net Worth: +3.44%
Net Worth w/o Home: -11.35%
Net Worth w/o Home or IRA: -13.57%

At the start of the month, we are down another 5,576.92 because of having to pay the taxes. I am adjusting for the quarterlies as well, so April should be the last month of losses.
