I know I’m not going to lose my job any time soon, but I am anxious. Very anxious. I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I am not as secure as I’d like. But the weird thing is that my job is secure. I am doing well at work and the way things on [...]

At work, about once a week, someone brings in breakfast. It’s my turn soon and someone asked, “What do Koreans eat for breakfast?” My reply, “Whatever they eat for dinner, just less of it.”
Read this article by Mark Bittman. It’s great. You don’t have to eat traditional stick to your ribs breakfast, nor do you [...]

Corporate responsibility and stewardship. He’s taking care of my taxpayer money and helping his community in the ways it needs helping.

All four members of my immediate family were born in winter (Dec to March). There’s a big birthday planned for my dad in California. He’s repeatedly told me and my mom that he wants to go see his grandchildren. Since dad is turning 70, this is exciting stuff. It’s been 3 years since his stroke [...]

I last wrote about my goals in December, but I hadn’t set them in stone.
This is what I initially thought I would do:
1. Pay down my credit card debt. Target balance for December 2009 is $3000.00.
2. Save 20% of my salary between my 401k, ESPP, HSA.
But that seems too easy. The second goal is a [...]
