10:30 To bank for cash. Groceries. Put stuff away.

Go to Great Earth for hair + skin vit. Bu they have closed.

11:45 Look at April 1 net worth. A lot has changed:

1) Gold moved from $418/oz to 474 (12% markup)

2) Bonds down 6.4% for Intr, 6.9% for Hi Yld

3) I've exercised options - cash + liq MS stock

So I must rebalance my liq assets soon. Do a net worth statement fortune after accounting, but also buy bonds. No more precious metals till I budget.

12:00 Make + eat lunch.

Come to my senses about redistribution of liquid assets:

1) I'm excited about getting good deal on bonds, so I want to buy em, but they could sink lower

2) I'm unexcited about buying metals since they are at such record highs, but thye could go higher.

Remember: just rebalance $$ amounts. Since bonds are cheap + gold is expensive, I'll be getting more bonds units + fewer coins. So next month do it. I won't have cash in bank till next payroll check May 30 and stock certificate won't be here next week. When I return from Atlanta, do pers acct, and do a net worth statement, and then readjust things. Fine.

1:00 To Microsoft.

1:30 Talk with Tony about:

Salary, up 3%

Bonus, $15K or 5%

Ladder 12.11 (13. is tech lead)

Vacation May 29-June 6

And misc work stuff. From email, I discovered that Tony has assigned report's print preview to David. So, I'm all done except to finish odds + ends regarding interface and printer code.

Do misc work.

Dinner (lasagna) at Athens. Too cheesy, hot.

11:00 Leave

11:30 To bed, with a relaxed mind.
