Eh wul. I shouldn't really have been doing email at work anyway. It's like, do I _really_ want my place of employment to know everything I say to everyone? Email isn't private, really. To their credit, they're not sneaky about it, and every day upon login everyone sees an announcement that clearnly states how transparent and subject to snoopage the DOE network is Sometimes they announce when they're about to snoop (probably so they can see what gets deleted). Last time they announced, I should have just ignored it and gone to lunch, but instead I deleted a bunch of reiki files, of all things (oooo, mustn't let anyone see those!).

As far as the equity goes, I'm hoping. I also don't want to dip into the CD that my aunt gave me, since I need that to replace the roof and furnace when the time comes. The proposal didn't turn out to require as much time as I'd thought - the last one they had was a mammoth deal that took about 40 hours. I'll be lucky if this one takes 10. Still, that's decidedly better than nothing... and I'm not too keen on giving up my time quite as readily as I used to be...
