Spreading the word
Jun. 30th, 2011 05:00 pmI was having a bit of a work rant just now and wound up letting slip to our media guy that I am planning to leave. Then I told the diary secretary. I also mentioned to both that depression was part of the reason why.
So now more people know, and I think I will tell more tomorrow. Next week is likely to be my last sitting week in this job, and I will have to tell a lot of people as I won't be around they next time they come back.
I still haven't told CoS in part because he's not here and in part because that would feel so final. I will have to get used to the idea though.
Last night dinner went very well. I made teriyaki kangaroo stirfry and everyone was duly impressed by my culinary talents (or my culinary ability to make a simple dish that's not easy to screw up.) Tonight I will be having dinner with Cupcake Goddess.
Today is the last day of the tax year, and I sold some shares in Nexbis that I bought at 38.5 cents for 8.5 cents, a loss of nearly 80%. I made some capital gains during the year and I wanted to have something to offset them. I've still got some shares that I paid less than 8 cents for in the event that they rebound, but the tax benefits of the loss will be available to me.
I also managed to get deeper into Konekt as someone else was willing to sell at my buying price (perhaps to realise a loss just as I did.) The stock is currently trading below its book value and I think it is unrealistically low.
I realised this morning that when it comes to the VDM fiasco, I was less concerned about the money I stand to lose than I expected. I know that sometimes you lose money, and I was prepared for that. The question that concerned me more was whether or not I had made a mistake. I had thought about getting out earlier this year, and I could have made a profit rather than ending up worse off. Being a failure (for lack of a better term) was of greater concern to me than the financial loss (though I'm not wild about that either.)
Off to the gym. Deadlifts today I think. Heavy ones. Then tabata kettlebell swings, hand release pushups, sit ups, and pullups.
