I'm with you WW. Or maybe not, I think I need to leave Civil Service and take a 33% increase right away....

I think the old Blackwater folks are currently recruiting at $200K a year. They are going to be building a CIA Army to fight in Syria.

They prefer that you can grow a glorious handlebar mustache. Not a requirement afaik, just preferred.

I like riding roller coasters. But, even with my sticky pants on this ride is getting very uncomfortable.

I'm happy with my 19% TCOLA .... sure am gonna miss it when I retire.

So, I pulled up the August meeting minutes for the FRTIB. They approved the FY15 budget for 207.2 million dollars. $207.2M and we still have to snail mail. Are servers that expensive?????? That or the employees are making close to or above 6 figures. I know there is more to the budget than that, but $207.2M. What the heck.

The TSP currently has over 400 billion dollars in assests.
