A week after I wrote my contractor saying we need to nail down timelines on the work, he has not responded in any way. I stopped by the other day after my dethkold to find no work has been done that I can see. I'm asking guidance on what to do next from my guy and considering the issue myself.

There was a robbery on Spring Road between my house and the metro - the route my girl and I will walk. The robbers were kids, the kind I see goofing off and yelling by the metro and bus stop every day. I am not pleased by this.

My application to FDIC was rejected for failing to meet the standard of running a LER nationwide program. I am happy the HR specialist wrote me back on the issue, though I noted they defined that task via 5 activities which I had done (and it's an asst. director job, not the lead). I then applied for the FDIC job that is...well my job, only there.

And I don't want the job. I am stupidly happy right now - I've done it. While I'm still high over that 3 case / 1 hearing in LA/CA win, I've achieved my long-term goal of catching up. I literally am making work to do because I've "beat" my caseload. I have more than enough time to do my work - finally.

I'm also better at it. Still growing, so I'm not bored, but happy with the quality of my work today.

Good time to be floating applications. It would take a lot of money and future money to make me want to jump, but you never know what the future holds.

Sort of related, I recently poked into some old gym spreadsheets and don't feel like I've gotten much stronger considering the years I've worked out. My elbows always hurt. I need to do a more thorough post about my measured progress over the years and what it means, but I also need to think about a long term working out strategy. Stretching is turning out to be a really important part of it. Also, am I too fat? I'm supposed to gain weight but I'm always wondering about my belly (which is mostly candy, fat, and beer).

Hey, is the FDIC job downtown or in Arlington? My wife really likes working at FDIC. The benefits are great and you aren't beholden to congress funding....

Exactly - and it's not on the GS scale so my same job theoretically can pay up to 100k more at the top of the band. It would be a fun transition where my complainant population is somewhat uneducated compared to the white-collar workforce of the FDIC.

I think DC but it is never clear from the listing. Labor/Employee Relations group of OGC most likely.
