The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Good:
Today I received my official substitute teacher name tag for the district whose list I'm on. Maybe now I can get called for work.
The Bad:
I received an email from Headmaster saying that they've decided to hire someone else. Disappointing, but now it's back to the original plan.
The Ugly:
I called Fidelity today to roll-over my GE 401k to my Fidelity IRA. In an 8 minute call I spoke to 2 representatives (humans!) and, since I didn't have the info I needed, the second volunteered to be on the phone while I called my 401k plan administrators in case I had any questions. I declined, but certainly appreciated it. Next, I call the GE 401k number. I navigate through 9 MINUTES of menus only to be told (by the machine) that they're closed and I should call back next week. Grrr.
