I saw the email a couple weeks ago and totally forgot. When I was balancing the models (meaning all clients in a model [group of like accounts] have the same percentage of each stock in their account) I forgot he was in the model. My system kind of does it automatically. So I still made the guy $13K over three days, but if we had held onto the stock for him he would have lost a lot in January when stocks drop. I'm still new at this and there is a lot to learn. Our custodian (the financial institution that holds the money) is super mad at us too because I've made too many errors this year.
So yeah. It's not easy with this stupid CRaPS and my memory comes and goes. Some days it's not good, other times it's great. I really want to stop working, but I don't have that option.
They know way too well what's going on with me, but I don't think they realize I have issues with my memory and I don't want to tell them. I'm hoping that the pain pump helps me enough that my brain comes back to normal.

Oh boy, what a dilemma. My husband works in the financial industry, I too have worked in the investment consulting biz long ago, and in 2010 did over a thousand videos for life and annuity reps (CFA's, etc) and I have often heard and had to deal with the compliance regulations that are the law of the land in that world and the consequences when the laws are not followed. It is a very demanding, stressful job you have. I am sure you are diligent and work very hard, and when something happens that you KNOW was a consequence of CRPS at work, that can be devastating. I am so sorry that this happened to you, and I also completely understand not telling them what's going on with the affects of CRPS on your mind. Just keep doing the best you can hon. That's really all that you can do. Sheep happens and soon it will be just one of those damn things that happened and will be behind you. Hang in there girl! You're amazing! They have no idea how amazing you really are.... but we do!!
