First, I could have sworn I posted recently. Wrong! Anyway, can you believe I had a four day weekend last week and still couldn’t get my act together here on my site? Yes! Really! It was a very nice staycation (was supposed to be a way better real vacation to Florida but that was cancelled…

Deductible, be gone!
Hmm. So it is the end of the first week of April and I’m not finished with my $500 annual insurance deductible. Last year I polished it off by Valentine’s Day. Should I be glad that I haven’t had to visit doctors as often this year or annoyed that Blue Cross has gotten off scot…
another silly topic…
So, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has started and this is the third year in a row that I’ve filled out the bracket on Yahoo. Let’s all take a moment to remember that I know almost NOTHING about basketball (I attended many, many Purdue basketball games as a child, but mostly for the copious amounts…
Bahh
Gene, come home! So I’m almost at the end of Week #3 of Gene being out of town and I am SICK OF THIS (stuff). I love, love LOVE alone time, me time, writing time, playing Crazy Cakes on Pogo until my hands are numb time, but AHH. I am ready for Gene to come…
THIS begs the question…
Did Lindsey Buckingham lose a bet or something?
Doomsday Thought of the Day…
You know how old people are always saying things like “What this country needs is a good war” to combat America’s tendency toward overconsumption and overpopulation? What if this economical meltdown is just that? Is this just one of those Adam Smith* invisible hand of the market things, but this time people are supposed to…
Baahh!!!
So, Gene called me with some wonderful news. The bigwigs at his employer are taking a 15% paycut. The mediumwigs at his employer are taking a 10% paycut. Fortunately, Gene is just a leetle tinywig so his paycut is only 5%. Wahhh. What is going on with this country that people are having their pay…
Now that’s what I call a tip!
My Worst Freaking Nightmare! So, I guess if it could happen to Nobu, the famous sushi restaurant partly owned by Robert DeNiro, it could happen to anyone. I would LOVE to talk to the payroll clerk there – were they paying server OT at 1.5 times server minimum ($2.13 times 1.5 = $3.20) instead of…
the chair affair…
(hee hee, that rhymed) Ugh, chair is at FedEx. Finally. When my only time out of the office during daylight is my lunch hour, sometimes I have to do things I wouldn’t normally do, such as struggle with a screwdriver in a light Cheesecake City rainstorm. Additionally, I wanted the damned office chair out of…
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…
