Just an update: I'm still at my job but not trading due to job increasing becoming more busy so I'm unable to do any trading. For now trading is just a backup or retirement plan. I still do some sim trading just to practice and keep the skill sharp. Markets has started to collapse just as predicted, therefore making me right on returning to the work force. Being a government job, I haven't felt the punch from the global economic collapse yet. But I know it's coming. I still hate the job and everything I've said before are still true. You waste your time and brain power doing pointless work while dealing with difficult people. My plan is to ride out the collapse as long as I can with the government job. However...since I've last posted this a new girl shortly started working there who might turn out to be my soul mate. Lucky I didn't quit. Knock on wood.
