Happy Friday the 13th

Well, water department was on the news yesterday afternoon banning watering of lawns in Des Moines and surrounding areas. Guess their plea to cut demand didn't work. Received an email from water department stating violators will have their service turned off. And they say splash pads and pools not recycling water (like a kiddie pool) can't be used. We are banned from washing cars too.

Had a fun day at work without any advisors there. 2 are on vacation and 1 was working from home. Just me and new kid. Apparently he is fully licensed and had one year at the prior place. He has a few clients of his own and may take on more as the elder advisor retires, expected in the next year or two. They can stop looking for a new secretary with him here now as financial advisor-in-training. Unsure about the other advisor coming on board and search for a new office. He actually tried to get me to move my investments to the company under him. I explained I dislike my employer being in charge of my finances which opens myself to their abuse of power. Granted, newbie is not my boss, but the company is.

Hooray!! I can keep my job. Got approval for my investments part of another company as long as I do not direct stock trades. I manage that. I have no desire to become a financial advisor.
