Some slightly good news at work, and taking a bit of direct financial action

The manager told us today he's supposed to have a conference call today with the Distribution Center. The subject is changing the truck schedule, he thinks we might be switching our non truck days (the days most of the crew has off) from Tuesday and Thursday to Wednesday and Sunday. To say the least the prospect of actually having time off on the weekend was well received.

Also today I decided to set up an account with US Treasury to buy savings bonds. It's a small thing, I'm just investing just $25 out of my paycheck every period. But given enough time it should at least amount to something. Combining that with my 401k with Target I might have a decent retirement set up.
