I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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!

Seconded!

I'm always skittish about taxes because until last year we always owed. Last year we got a decent refund but I still don't quite believe it...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I significantly upped my withholding this year, but not anywhere close to that amount, tommyrot. And then we didn't end up having as much side work, yay more donors, so we're ending up getting money back.

Man, my day got so fucked up.

But since that's the case, I'm going to have to make a new, bonus plan for my resulting day. I have already started it by eating a calzone. The SO is not going to have any left when he gets back and that is just going to have to be sad for him because they are so so delicious. And easy as grab it and throw it in the oven food for me.

So. New goals for the day: continue working on car. dishes. laundry. personal taxes. company taxes. studio work. shredding.

Was your second kid born in 2012? Or is she around 3 now??

She was born in 2011, but we couldn't get a refund for her that year since all her childcare was paid for in cash under the table (OH HAI NSA JUST KIDDING ABOUT THAT LAST PART).

OK, my boss is going to lend me the extra money that was taken out of my paychecks, and reduce my withholding to much lower that it was last year until my withholdings are back in sync with what they should have been.

So I can pay all my bills this month and go to Tuscaloosa next week. Yay!

not your mom's socks.

I'm trading naming a character in a story for a shiny corporate hotel discount. Or my eternal soul. I forget which. But yay hotel and heat tonight.
