I don't know about that..... my first wife was trying like crazy to get me to get life insurance a couple months before my birthday..... I didn't get any.... then a couple weeks before my birthday she went for a divorce..... I'm thinking if I did get the life insurance..... and then spent my birthday with my family..... that birthday WOULD have been my last....

Think I'm going to give tai chi another shot. Found a place nearby that looks good, all set to go tonight after work...then discovered that apparently it's my birthday and my wife wants to take me out to eat. Guess tai chi will have to wait until thursday.

Happy birthday and good luck in tai chi.

I just noticed this.... forgive me, I can be slow on the up take sometimes and occasionally distracted by shinny objects...

First, Happy Birthday.

Second, I started Taijiquan 2 weeks before my birthday 33 years ago this month

Haaaaapy birthday!!! Hope it was a swell day!

And DO IT :)
 
My job is split into I think 5 teams of 10-15 people, that work with different clients. Apparently while I was on vacation, they did an analysis since January, and found that the team I'm on is performing by far the best. They've hinted that the best performers would get end of year bonuses, though last year apparently they sent out an email apologizing saying they realized the bonuses are not in the budget, so I'm not hopeful.


However, we do get a reward for performing so well! They've decided that means we're overstaffed, so they're moving one of our best guys to a different team, possibly a second as well, and are putting a hiring freeze on our team so that they don't backfill the spot that we've got currently. Did I mention they also added two new clients, bringing us up from 5 to 7 clients, in the last 2 months?

So performing well means: No bonuses. Extra work. Backfill for the people not performing well. Less workers to do the extra work and backfill.
