"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's hard to imagine Rory Gilmore pregnant.

She's 31!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So I just got my review at work and it was on the negative side, overall ranking was "Below Average" with the majority of the items (4 of 7) marked as "Opportunity for Improvement". He only marked me as "Meets Expectations" in one category and that was my highest ranking.

Pretty sure that is a sign that I need to find another job and quickly. Resume work tonight then.

Amazon! How did that not occur to me?!? I live in Seattle! Awesome. I am totally ordering some of those, and it will make me feel ever-after guilty about going out to get coffee instead of making it at home (currently, I'm often like "Well, I don't have CREAM, so I HAVE to go out...")

Because books.

Rory Gilmore isn't 31 in my head.

Your office is incredibly wrong and seriously dysfunctional, msbelle. Lots of new job~ma to you.

msbelle,

how disappointing. perhaps you knew this was coming, but that's awful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pretty sure that is a sign that I need to find another job and quickly.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Good luck!

Coding and Sleeping

First of all, holy shit, Consuela, I'm glad your sister is okay. Secondly, much job-ma msbelle.

Next and totally unrelated. I recently have seen part of Aliens in a video loop for work-related reasons. I've never really noticed it before but the little girl who played Newt really does a very impressive job of playing that role. This is what happens you seen a fairly small loop over and over.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I love Newt so much. I thought she was really fabulous.

In other news, I had my tax visit to H&R Block yesterday. Generally speaking - I was unimpressed. Essentially what the preparer did was enter data into a software program. Which is something I could have done myself. Further, I had to provide all the calculations myself and I think he forgot to ask me some things (e.g. work travel).

I feel like I spent several hours getting my records together, only to spend 2 hours with him repeating my information.

Because of the HSA and some tax confusion around that, I have to have another appointment next week to complete the process.

There were a couple of things he knew that I didn't, but I kind of feel like he should have just asked me to fill out a customized spreadsheet that I hand over to him and spend 30-45 minutes answering questions about crap that I didn't now or he needed more information about.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Le N, that's exactly why DH & I started doing our own taxes online.
