So I cracked open the W-2s today and they are sorted who the hell knows how. I mean, not alphabetically, not by city or state or location number. Just some random who the fuck knows method. Apparently our payroll provider outsources the W-2 stuffing to the company that hires homeless people to hold “STORE CLOSING”…

Grumble
1) The W-2s arrived from our payroll provider today. Complete with the 800 fucked up W-2s all mixed in. Great, so you sent me 4000 good W-2s and 800+ screwed up ones? Like THAT won’t be a major disaster. Ughhhh. The rep suggested I just send them all out, letting my people know that “they…
25 Things, a crosspost from Facebook
1) I blog at laineyd.com. (I know, Duhhh right?) 2) I just found a problem with around 900 of my employer’s W-2s for 2008. I hope my boss remembers this the next time I forget to do something minor. (I talk about W-2s a lot this time of year, it’s just a weird thing about…
More music…
Apparently I’m in an early ’90s mood. I’m going to go put on some black knit pants. (Apologies for the announcer at the beginning. This is REM’s acoustic performance of Half a World Away from Unplugged. It’s not their best song, but it is definitely their prettiest).

It was (probably) true 40 years ago, it was true in ’93 and it was true on Tuesday. Well, I can hope so anyway 🙂 I hope all is well with all of you.

Happy Birthday to the Boy…
He is 15 today. He is missed today.
Fun Facts
Here are two facts I learned today while waiting at Max & Erma’s for dinner: 1) The NYSE stock symbol for Harley Davidson is HOG 2) Well, crap. I thought I had another funny one. The NYSE symbol for Starwood Hotels – which I thought owned the Hilton hotel chain – is HOT. I thought…
Dog Park
So, the dogs are stuck in their kennels all day while Gene is gone. The pet sitter comes in for a little while during the day but they’re used to a whole lot more freedom. I thought of taking them to the pet boarding place for the day tomorrow, but Gene had a better idea:…
