Ethics Schmethics

January 17th, 2008 · No Comments

The HR person went on and on, discussing how we the […]

Worst January EVER(and it’s only the 15th)

January 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Well Not ever, but it’s bad from a financial point of view.

January 8th, 2008 · No Comments

The Swiss_Mouse ended the year with a net-worth increase of 14.63%.  Not bad, but not great.  Kind of like, it’s Velvetta, but at least it was fresh Velvetta.
The disappointment comes from the fact that that he was at 14.73% in August!
In fact the entire end of the year was a roller coaster.

14.73% August 1

In a follow up to the Swiss_Mouse’s last post about the $10,000 couch….
Swiss_Mouse once worked with a young woman.  She was attractive, with beautiful eyes, long dark hair and with very large….ahem…shall we say assets.

Sleeping in the Car

November 30th, 2007 · No Comments

The Swiss_Mouse sleeps in his car almost every day.
Seriously.
What are the benefits?  Well, first off, if you read up on it, “power naps” are suppose to help you!  Maybe.  Swiss_Mouse ends up being mighty groggy though.  Not necessarily a bad thing.   Depending on the day, the Swiss_Mouse gets in a 10 minute to 50 […]
