Yeah, we have actual rain today, with more forecast through the weekend. It'll help a little bit, especially crops currently in the field, but what we really need is snow up in the mountains to replenish the strategic water reserves for summer.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I want my tax refund, dammit. I get about $100 usually from state, but Federal is larger. Depending on what happens this week, it will either help me shore up my funds for big crazy house project (TM), or else pay off my car.
And like magic, here it is!
Wow, that was pretty magic!
I want a unicorn!
Things that are annoying at work: on Monday the library integrated system software went down, which was annoying enough while it was actually down. But now we are discovering that part of the outage involved the system sending emails to a bunch of people - apparently enough emails that yahoo mail, gmail, aol and rr.com have all identified anything coming from any ourlibrary.org address as spam and bouncing them back (although helpfully waiting 48 hours before bouncing back). Which as one could imagine makes accomplishing our day to day work rather troublesome. Can I get a TINO, people?
Tell them if they'd given you snow days it wouldn't have happened, RIGHT TINO!?!?
TINOOOOO!
oh man, I had forgotten about TINO. Fuckin' TINO!
McPhee called me from the road and I told her to turn around and go back home, she was slipping and spinning out and was all tense. My house does not need cleaning that badly.
I will blame TINO for my rage tears at work this morning. The people who really are to blame should be thankful that TINO is taking the fall for them.
We got a new accountant at work at the end of last year. He decided to withhold an additional $1300 each month from my paycheck for federal taxes. I only noticed after the second such paycheck. Oops.
My boss is having him change my withholdings to what they were. Otherwise I'd be getting about a $16,000 refund next year. I just don't wanna wait a year to get than money.
