I would like one of the following tomorrow: 1) Massage 2) Appointment with chiropractor 3) A large needle in my spine so I can’t feel anything below my belly button. So, Gwen, my boss, asked me to help her clean out our company’s warehouse. The warehouse is approximately a billion feet by a trillion feet…

Bloodbath…
So, guess whose employer had a huuuuge reduction in force (RIF) yesterday? Guess whose employer RIF’d the owner’s son? Guess whose employer still employs ME? Yeah, I know. Weird, huh? Anyway, it was ugly at work yesterday. All week, there have been closed doors all over the place and it’s made me want to jump…
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…
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 Plan…
So, Gene is still in NJ (through Wednesday, so he can have face time with the Boss’s Boss), which I am bummed about but I also feel that timing is impeccable: The W-2s are at the office and I have to have them…oh, let’s say the hell out of my office… by Monday night. No…
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…
A break in a local Malaysian coffeehouse…
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…
