(yes, here’s some payroll jargon) So, all of this talk about Congress continuing to allow the Social Security reduction thing has made me worried. Not because I care if my own paycheck is +/- 2.0% but because they’re talking about continuing this credit for two months. Two months. Not an entire quarter??? This is going…

20 years ago
Yes, its time for another serving of Tales of Little LaineyD… 20 years ago, my mom and I went to see Fleetwood Mac perform in Indianapolis. Except for the shoes, I remember every stitch I had on. Before the show we had dinner at the restaurant attached to the venue, where we had the honor…
Awww, crap
It’s Sunday afternoon, isn’t it? Dammit. Can I have more time off please? Can I perhaps trick Gene into letting me be a stay at home dog owner? This past week off was really lovely (even though in my heart of hearts I would rather have been in Las Vegas, dammit) and I am so…
The stuff I forgot to write yesterday
1) The word “stuff” makes me think of the word “stuf” as in Double Stuf Oreos. Mmm. I have also tried the Trader Joes version, the Joe-Joe, which is also good. I wonder if I can talk Gene into making a return trip to Trader Joes on Saturday after we drop the dogs at the…
Lament…
Remember a couple years ago when I wrote about the song I wrote that went (basically) “I don’t want to go to work today, I want to sit on my ass and play, I don’t want to go to work today, ’cause yesterday was pay day and it’s all downhill from there! Hey!” (No, it’s…
yello…
So, I passed my Incredibly Hard Payroll test (did I tell you? It was incredibly hard). And now…ummm… I kinda don’t want to do payroll anymore. (Have I ever talked about how much I dislike that phrase, ‘do payroll’? It just sounds so ignorant, like there aren’t another 10,000 verbs that might be more descriptive…such…
Testing, testing, 1, 2, 325…
Yes! Yesterday I took my exam for the Super Hard Payroll Certification. I was given 4 hours to take the exam and about midway through, I thought, “Well, this isn’t going well…”. I was able to mark any question I wanted as “Review Later” and I marked at least a quarter of the questions. After…
What, me worry?
Short Answer: YES. Long Answer: Here is why I haven’t blogged lately. It’s all just a loooong string of worry. Worried about the stupid test (a week and a half to go!), passing it, failing it. Worried about work (a lifetime to go!), getting it all done in 40 hours per week. Big boss had…
Test update
I don’t know if the tickers in the last post make sense to anyone but me, but they’re ticking off the days until I take my certification exam and then the days until vacation. (The latest on vacation: Still not booked, Gene does not appear to have been chosen to speak @ Geek Week ’11,…
Updates, various and sundry…
1) Still haven’t scheduled my certification test. Today’s wrench is that I need someone boss-like to sign my authorization to take the test before I can schedule the damned test. And who knows how I’m going to get my hands on a funding source for this boondoggle. APA, please make this be slightly easier than…
