"It's like being in college again!"

I went to my company's 401(k) meeting today.

One hour.

One hour filled with a barrage of financial information--a power point presentation, a packet of paperwork, and the sudden need to know how to do something.

It was very confusing.

It was like being in college again, only I was being paid to be there.

Seriously--I walked into the meeting room, (set classroom style, of course) sat down, looked over my packet and was suddenly blasted into the "I really need to pay attention to this but my god is it boring" frame of mind. You would look away from the presenters for what seemed to be a millisecond, to readjust your spot in your seat, get a different piece of paper from the packet, something--and suddenly, you are no longer on the same page as the rest of the 'class'. They've switched topics! I missed the lead-in! I'm confused!

It was funny, in a "my financial future is riding on this" sort of way.

I am tired. So what else is new.

All I want to do is sleep, read, eat things that will make me fat. This is not a good thing.

Anyway.....yeah. I think I am off to bed, to worry about my financial future. (But I have a 401(k) now! I are a grow-ed up!)
