I'm (almost) in the money

  As part of the company merger a bunch of stock option and restricted stock stuff happened. I just got the notice that the conversion has happened and set up the new part of my brokerage account. Seeing large numbers again is a nice thing to have. For so long there have been number there but they've never been very large and incredibly rarely been worth anything. The potential for large amounts of money here though is very good. Not to mention next month there is more coming as my "new hire" stock options get allocated. It's another day of sort of exciting stuff since there is so much possible upside. If this can keep going and actually do something, unlike the literally thousands of stock options I've lost due to them not being worth anything, then life will get better. Not to mention retirement savings etc.

  It's also weird that quite a lot of my future is still reliant on so many other people doing their jobs well. I know the people around me that I work with can do their jobs well (the ones that couldn't are no longer here) but there are a lot more people now. If they mostly can keep things going then hurrah.

  So, now that some things are actually going our way can the rest of them line up properly and do so. New house, more money, more cats, the list could go on for quite a while :| .
