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.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Are you dancing around singing "I've got the POWER"? I would.

I'm fighting my way through a jQuery course with shiv and bludgeon. Next I'm going to go and de-snow my car.

I'd make very very very sure the money went to withholdings and not some caribbean vacation fund or up the accountant's nose….
this is hilarious.
tommy,
I typically do whatever withholdings I had the year previous and then I estimate my taxes and withholdings around June and do another withholding adjustment if I am going to come in too high and too low. They have Internet calculators that I can help you see if you are on track for the year in terms of withholdings.
However, in recent years, I have been too busy to be as on top of this as I was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am really hoping I kept my too-high withholding last year but have proper withholding now at my new job, because I want the chunk of money right now, but also don't want to do it going forward. Fingers crossed!

There are no taxes being taken out of Hubby's disability, and on its own it's below the taxable level. Added with mine, though, and it kicks us over into owing territory.

Any time I have W2 income I make sure I claim zero deductions and much of the time I also ask them to withhold extra. I'll take every little bit I can to help balance all of the 1099 income that I need to deal with. I'm happy that with the two part time state teaching gigs I'm also getting a tiny amount of retirement withholding happening as well.

I just had to duck out of a meeting because I realized that I can't pay for my hotel with a closed corporate card. At least I realized it before the charge failed to go through tomorrow?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
So today we had lab retreat, part 1. What that actually means is that everybody gives detailed info on what they've done in the last year, and what is upcoming. Today was one section of the lab with lots of PowerPoint slides for four hours. At least there were donuts and bagels.
There are three more days of this, starting in three weeks.
