The Cheesecake is Rich

(and yes, I know that while I am sleepy, my brother and his wife are drop dead exhausted) So, today was a day I call SUPER PAYROLL WEDNESDAY. The workday started at 5 am. Ugh, I hate getting up early. And since sooooomeone insisted on watching all 55 hours of the Celebrity Apprentice finale show [...]

(The chapter, BTW, is #11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 11 is not as serious as Chapter 7 – it’s more a reorganization tactic than a death sentence, theoretically). So, fun is when your payroll provider calls you and says, “So I hear your company filed bankruptcy. How do you plan to pay for your [...]

I guess it’s been awhile since I posted, huh? That said, my birthday weekend w/ Mom feels like it happened months ago. I think that part of why I haven’t written lately is that I am still upset that Kansas lost to Northern Iowa. I mean, Northern Iowa??? That game happened when Mom was in [...]

(da-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh) Well, okay, it’s actually not til Monday, but today was my last day of work. Until Tuesday, anyway (a girl can dream! Told Gene that if we won the lottery I’d be off work a lot longer and that my first phone call would be to Gwen and the second would be to Dr. [...]

I had a job interview this morning. I met with three people, including the woman who (I think) would have been my direct supervisor. I think it went really well, although they insisted on asking all those goofy non-questions like “Tell me about a time you had to resolve a conflict and what you learned [...]

(I warned you) Background: on a W-2 form, for some reason, tips and wages are separated out for Social Security (i.e., if your taxable wages were $5000 for the year, there will be a box that says that your Social Security wages were $1000 and Social Security tips were $4000). So, I got a call [...]

So, I have an early W-2 season funny story for you: There is a former employee of my employer. We will call him Senor Dumbass or SD for short. He has a wife/girlfriend/fiancee, Senora Dumbass or Mrs. SD. For the record, SD no longer works for us because he failed a very important test (puff, [...]

…about W-2s (Groan!) (Yes, this is the time of year where I talk about nothing but W-2s but at least I’m not talking about babies, so shut up). So, let’s say that you are shocked (!) that only $9 was deducted in federal tax all year long. Don’t go crying to your employer’s payroll clerk, [...]

I don’t know if this dream is funny, weird or something else… So, the w-2s arrived at work yesterday (Friday). D and Gwen sort them (there are 3000 of the little suckers) and all the current employee W2s are sent via FedEx to the locations. I didn’t do much to help (busy sorting checks). Clearly [...]

So anyway, the (freeeeeaking) W-2s are going to be late by about a week. Argh. I was expecting them today and now I’ll get them “early” next week. I am glad for the delay so I can focus on other stuff at work but I was also looking forward to them going the hell away [...]
