Speaking of how do things happen, I apparently accidentally ordered a new laptop for my new hire, which wasn't in the departmental budget. I went back to see what I had done, and what I had written on the requisition form was: (desk currently has a desktop -- is there a laptop that could be used instead?) with no budget codes or anything! WTF, IT dude?
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ION, apple pumpkin bread and ginger tea don't go together very well.
eta: OK, I think I oversteeped the tea.

tommy - I'd be concerned he had done this to other employees also.
Well I'm the only employee now at our business. Dunno what other clients he has.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's super weird, tommyrot.

Um, you're a single guy with no dependents. This shit is not complicated. I'm not sure what he thought he was trying to accomplish

Supposedly he was following IRS guidelines on how much to withhold.

The same accountant couldn't figure out how to give me my x-mas bonus, because the bonus was less than my monthly withholding amount. Yeah, he was thinking of applying an entire month's withholding against one week of bonus pay.
I assume once the money is withheld I can't get it back until my refund next year, right?

That IS super weird, and very sketchy. I think they should hire a new guy. Eek.
(desk currently has a desktop -- is there a laptop that could be used instead?) with no budget codes or anything! WTF, IT dude?
Also sketchy. Boo!
