Allyson when I did independent contractor work for USC, I had to file paperwork with the city (it's a city response, yes, not a state?) to get some sort of certificate. It was free though. And I never did it.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope Noah and ita both get effective and pleasant medical care. I hope Allyson figures out WTF.

Me to!
Also, I have another work pet peeve. We have tuition reimbursement for no-credit classes. When people register for classes they tend not to pay me. So I contact them, and they tell me they don't have to pay, because they get reimbursement. Um...

Feel-better-ma to Noah & seconding the hopes that it's bacterial & will clear up with meds in a few days.
Antibiotics wreaked havoc on D's sleep patterns and digestive system - here's hoping Noah has an easier time with them! (Yogurt & applesauce were our friends, and that's all I'll say.)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Hivemind, I just got a final notice from the city of LA because on my 2006 taxes, I paid taxes to the state and feds on a 1099 from my book advance.
The City now says that I am an independent contractor or a small business and I need to pay them money and register with them.
It's not a bill. I'm unsure what the fuck to do, as the language is weirdly complex and I'm not that smart.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
I've heard of it in L.A. When I was working at the Colony Theater one of the set guys was complaining because he had made x amount as an independent contractor ('cause most small theaters don't keep a set guy on tap) and they were trying to jack him for back taxes claiming he should have registered as a business.
I never heard how that panned out, but he was fighting it. He had no idea what had triggered it either.

Maybe a dictionary should be part of the required reading for the course?
Also, I had stressful work dreams that woke me up last night. Yuck!

Or maybe they are confused about what reimbursement means?

I am tired, but I don't think I have too much to do at work today, so that is good.

I am sure they are. Or they just don't read carefully enough, since there are two forms, one for tuition waivers and one for tuition reimbursements. Although I would be less annoyed if they thought they had the waiver.
Also, many other these people are medical doctors!

That's why they need a dictionary! So they'll know!
