The Sunday anxiety started for me on Friday night. I would dread Monday all weekend long. Thank goodness I got a package and was in a position to retire earlier than expected.
It's too bad that FB's Golden Parachute included tax free earnings on his Fiserv stock (because he had to sell his stock before accepting a government position.) It makes me ill thinking about how much he made on that move.
You nailed it!
Dig it! As a former Fiserv itch. There is a life outside of Fiserv. Get off your ss and go find it.
