Special Presentation, p2
The government is trying to melt my mind, one abbreviated organization at a time.

Grrrr.
In other news, apparently I have the option to have my 401k directly distributed to me, minus 10% federal tax. In fact, since I don't have an IRA or another plan to transfer it to, this may be my only option...I have to do some more reading, here. This will be several thousand dollars, at this point, after eight years of gainful employment, during most of which I was funding it at more than the minimum amount and my contributions were being matched by the company. (Hmmm...they don't take back the money they matched, do they? Please tell me major corporations don't act like an ex-girlfriend you bought a sofa with.)
Of course, that's my future I'm mortgaging, but frankly, I've never seriously believed that retirement was ever going to happen, for me, anyway. I feel like I'm either going to make it at something, or I'm not. (Years from now, I will read this and bang my head against the table.)
Call to Action!
Please help me think of things I am good at so I can pimp myself more effectively. I have a major mental block where this kind of thing is concerned. So far, I have writing and communication, office software (Word, Excel, etc.), typing, HTML and web design, some computer programming and basic hardware stuff, and digital photography. WHAT ELSE DO I KNOW HOW TO DO??? It would really be aces if I didn't end up with a job that sucks, this time.
