Did I tell you all that I was going to go be co-Governor of Illinois? Stefania, my coworker and former boss, and I were going to go run Illinois after Governor Blagoveich was ousted. Our theory was that we couldn’t do worse than him, right? We had big plans! We were going to work one…

what the heck?
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”…
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…

1977: A Moderately Better Year For Music
(Same rules as the 1995 post below, just with slightly less sucky music) 1. Tonight’s The Night, Rod Stewart (creepy video and I have trouble believing Rod Stewart was ever sexy) 2. I Just Want To Be Your Everything, Andy Gibb 3. Best Of My Love, Emotions 4. Love Theme From “A Star Is Born”,…
1995: A Pretty Crappy Year for Music
So, it’s nearly midnight KL time, I can’t sleep due to somebody’s coughing (actually, due to both Gene and my coughing together) and yet, I can’t shiv the cause of this insomnia. Since I can nap tomorrow and Gene can’t, here is a very interesting meme-whatchamacallit that I stole from another site: 1) Go to…
23 hours til departure…
This time tomorrow we’ll be up in the air. Yaaaay! There is still so much to do. I need to pack my carry on bag, finish packing my big bag and – of course – more work! After all the years where I felt like I was going it alone in payroll, it is so…
Reasons why I haven’t posted anything of value lately…
1) Packing for the trip. I packed for myself on Sunday and, because he won a bet, I’ll pack for Gene tonight. (Trust me, it was totally worth losing the bet). 2) Work. I know, sometimes all I do is blog about work and the life drain it is. Who wants to hear more about…
I am a freaking loon…
So I got the American Girls catalog (goodness knows why) and it turns out that they are retiring the “Samantha” doll. Samantha is the doll whose clothes and books were all Victorian-era. I positively coveted that doll when I was 10-12 years old (before we moved to the house my parents live in). For whatever…
A crazy dream…
So I dreamt (dreamed? one of those) that Gene and I were flying to Malaysia via Germany (which we are). I know our itinerary pretty thoroughly and I know that the planes are big ones (which YES is at least 10% of the reason I agreed to this silliness) and I am really really looking…
