Happy Tax Day

-
I thought this cartoon may be appropriate for April 15th. For if you filed your taxes today, as I did, you may feel like you just got screwed. And not in a good way.

Our accountant got ours done for us on Saturday, what a relief. I love having someone else do it for me. Small luxury for a little bit of money. Congrats on getting yours done on time!

Chewy as the resident accountant here, I love you. You all cannot imagine the hours I have worked over the last 3 weeks. CJ - I think after last night at Tisane with my fav. X & her partner I should not show up there for a while. OMG talk about blowing off some TAX steam. Almost felt like being the the brewery.

Thanks OC. I really tried to get them done sooner. It would have been a little less stressful.

Chewy and Rubye Jean - You ladies are good! I think Cristina would be very impressed!

Robert I would have to agree with you on that. Just patiently waiting for my refund and my tax stimulus package to arrive.

Oh CJ no trouble was gotten into by any let's just say I ended up "drunk dialing" my "date" for tonight to apologize for my favorite X texting her and giving someone else my #. And yes I will be in NoHo tonight - I don't even know what this woman looks like - could be scary.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

You Are Hereby Put On Official Notice

...that I am outta City Hall in three weeks. I am giving my notice at work on Monday, something I hate to do. I have been very worried about the economic climate and my continued status as a dependent contractor at my current organization. My position is funded until June, but with a freeze both on hiring and overtime and worsening conditions, I feel I need to get out while I can. Being a contractor affords me no unemployment insurance and if things continue as they are, I think jobs will be harder to come by as June nears. I have accepted a position at a University in the Boston area. The commute will still pretty much stink, but it is a 35 hour week and there is the opportunity to work remotely (i.e. from my dining room) one day a week. I am really looking forward to joining this organization and very excited to be working in higher ed. Giving my notice is going to be very tough. I have been with my current organization, as both a full time employee and a contractor, for over 8 years...
