changes at general electric

 i once worked for general electric, but it was in a finance business that was spun off many years ago. my former employer made the news due to changes in its structure, deciding to split into 3 companies. the article i found said the aviation unit will keep the GE name, but the energy and healthcare units will be shed. i wonder if i will get any mail about it as i did at one point related to an offer to buy out my pension account. i turned down the offer, figuring it meant i would get it all now and nothing later. i still have a 401-k managed by GE, and i recall seeing something about a 'reverse stock split' although not that much of my account is invested in company stock. the number of shares has went up over the years, i think due to any dividends earned being used to purchase more shares. i know full well it will be a while before i will be retiring, but it is still a good idea to stay in the loop about things. it was my first day back at work after taking a vacation day. some things were left behind by my colleague, including a check to be overnighted to canada. sounded like he was getting error messages trying to create the label, i was able to get it done though. i noticed one check file had some duplicated check numbers, a small file, and this led to them re-issuing those checks. so it means i will have to void some checks and send them to the shredder. our tax specialist asked where some checks were, i said i only print what has been approved. found out the approver no longer works for the company, so another approver was found and those checks were ready to print near the end of the day. in the evening i went on a walk and found 28 cents. after work i went to the nearby liquor store and got a bottle of coors light, so now there are 5 beers waiting. i got one bag of chips out of the vending machine at work, i wanted two but it jammed. i called it in and it sounds like a refund check will be emailed to me. the 'big bang theory' reruns included two scenes where the song 'almost paradise' was used, one of them being after sheldon was ashamed of working with bert. it was followed by the one where stan lee was a guest star, and sheldon went to jail for contempt of court.
