I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So, I got all intrigued by the concept of the cake fork (and I've been working on the Cake Boss product line all day, so, much thinking about cake in general) and starting looking for some. Most of what I"m finding are "salad/dessert" forks, but I did come across [link] and [link]

Interesting.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I was just thinking "all forks are cake forks" today as I was chomping down on some cake. This is a principle I can get behind.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The key for me this year was I paid a lot of mortgage interest, and didn't change the amount of money I gave the government from what I gave them before I paid lots of mortgage interest, so yeah, it's my own money coming back.

It's still nice to get a large chunk coming back, especially right now.

Trust my rage

I fully support paying my share of tax, but when you are self-employed, it is so hard to know how much you are going to have to pay.

And while it's never happened to me, having income shifted from a W2 to a 1099 seems really unfair.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Our (home, Ja) set of cake forks that doesn't match anything else is recorded here--they are the second configuration that -t linked to.

I have no pain relief instructions, and a whole new presentation to write and one to edit. My big break from working will be to go pee.

I need to finalize my taxes.

So, work is quiet at the moment. I'm thinking of slugging off for the afternoon and taking a nap. My brain is so scrambled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just accidentally started looking at flatware on Etsy and eBay, and that may actually be my solution.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am with Jesse. I am not self employed, and the money I am getting back is because I elect to have extra withdrawn so I get a windfall- I am having the government hold on to my money so I can't spend it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Same with me, Sophia. People tell me that it's just giving the government an interest-free loan, but the interest I'd earn on it these days is so small that if I forgot to put it aside a single pay period (and knowing myself I'd forget a lot more than one) I'd have less saved up at the end of the year. With it set up as witholding I can't forget to put the money aside and spend it on a new frying pan or DVD purchase..
