Were you there, Gus, for more than 50 weeks?
I ask because a friend worked over seas and said he always had to pay if he spent more than 2 weeks in the US.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Not 50 weeks. I thought six months was a magic number. That one, I have.

I think 50 weeks was for him to not pay any US taxes. That was two or three years ago though.
So, grain-o-salt me.

My Wisconsin accountant bee-yotch-slapped the IRS last year. I figure that this year they are out for sweet vengence.
It is possible I am assigning too many human motivations to the IRS.
Monkey-ing with IRS minds is becoming a pasttime for me.
There are probably safer pastimes.
I paid taxes in the US on some income, and paid taxes in CH on more. If I come up completely broke, but having given an IRS agent a headache, I win.

Hearing an Applebees commercial set to "Fever" is rather funny considering some of them closed down in Memphis apparently at the behest of the health inspectors.

I'm up! But not for long!
Long week, positively exhausting, cumulating with interviewing 2 people for potential jobs, and having my own review. Which was good, but still stressful.
