I was living in SC at that time and actually got in on some of that turning it pretty quick for a 50% gain but don't worry, lost it all in 2008.

Ah yes, 2008, year of the 31% loss in the 401k. Luckily, it was still early on for me, so I didn't have that much to lose.

That's the one decent thing about my company, despite their recent nonsense with the scheduling - we still get a pretty decent amount of time off. For my tenure, I get 25 days off a year. In 3 more years, that'll go up to 30.

One complaint I don't have here is time off, 26 vacation days (maxed out there)  and 26 Friday's off.    And on that topic this week is my Friday Off!
