Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm torn between "I could totally do this" and "they really need someone with an engineering background."
If it's any kind of communication, they probably don't. After years of working with engineers, I've concluded that most of them need translators.
I just use a regular top crust on blueberry pie and cut some slits in it. Fruit(ish) pies: blueberry, cherry, blackberry, rhubarb, strawberry-rhubarb, peach, cranberry, raisin, green tomato
On the pumpkin front, I have a (non-white) friend who recently began a Facebook post, "Dear white people: what is it with you and pumpkin?" So I had to tell her about "Eat a muffin, whitey!"
Zenkitty,
how close are you to retirement? If I were going to retire within 5 years, I might have put all my holdings in cash long before now. Given my time horizon, I should be fine leaving everything where it is and waiting for the markets to come back in 2-3 years.

A lot of the staff are Vietnamese, so that might literally be true.
But you are speaking to someone who didn't open her retirement statements after the big crash because I couldn't take it.

I edit engineering journals, and my background is anthropology! They probably need someone who can grammar right. You'd learn enough of the terminology as you go.
I think when my mom makes Concord grape pie, it's fairly simple, barely if any sugar, and maybe flour to thicken, pie crust of choice. The hard part is skinning and sieving out the seeds.
Oh, ugh, Dana. Not enough money, short term, nothing else on offer (YET) is a terrible combination.

12 years, if all goes as planned. (bwahahaha) Last time a crash loomed, I did just that: left it alone, bought some stuff when it got cheap, and waited. My fear this time is a nebulous fear that it won't come back, or that I'll be wiped out so far I won't be able to recover.
Sheesh, I sound like I actually have a lot of money to worry about! Maybe I should just relax.
Timing the market is a fool's game.
