Long story. My work is really having budget trouble, and ULTIMATELY my hours are being cut to a minimum just to cover my insurance and because they need me to edit for them. However, legally-soeaking, I am bveing laid off for amonth and then re-hired at very little. Because they like me andb ecause they CURRENTLY have money, they are doing that instead of a "leave of absence" so that they can give me a severance check (and because they know I'll be hunting for another job in the meantime). So, they gave me my "severance" pay, and I just invested it in my retirement fund only to find that I have reached my yearly limit!

So, what made my day? My future is even more secure, even if this summer's going to be rough!
