HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DESIGNER OF NOISE!!!
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Are you ready to be strong?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I know. I was a little worried that I would have latency problems, but they must have upped their capacity, because while it was slow to log on, I had absolutely no trouble once I was in. Worked like a charm, even with me obsessively clicking back and forth through their EasyStep Navigator TM, to recheck all the work I'd done in January. It was still fine. Just like it was in January. Got to free file, although, amusingly, it cost us more to file this year than it did last, because although we paid for both federal and state last year, for two states, this year the state filing cost more than all those filings last year. Dunno why. Still, yay, free file.
Didn't mean I had to pay any less, though. Our taxes suck, because they're so abundantly clear and obvious. No kids, no house, no nothing, two incomes. Absolutely straightforward. Including the bit about paying a grand. No question whatsoever.
Ah, well. Spend it wisely, my government.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Rio, this is the reason we have a Ministry. If it's death to the stupid people, give Sean a call. Or, if it's a slight maiming, contact AmyParker. If it's a smite-ing well, I can oblige.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am fascinated by how freaked-out people get about doing their taxes. I mean people who are my peers in not owning property, not having kids, not making much money. It takes me like a half hour to do my taxes, and that includes writing zeros in all the spaces that don't apply to me!
Now I have decided I cannot have fun today, as I have Too Much Work to do, but I don't wanna do work! I want to have fun!! Bah.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You write in the zeros?
I hope you get to have some fun, Jesse.
I'm off to turn my modem in and run errands and see Burrell.
Waves goodbye to the board.

The form says to!! (Um, doesn't it? I have actually only filed on paper once in the last five years or so. I used to be able to Tele-File, and this year I did it online.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No fun for you, Jesse!
I don't get freaked out by doing taxes, I get freaked out by paying them. Which is why my $32 state tax waited until the last minute, but I've had my federal refund for more than a month.
No, I don't feel that makes any sense.

Gorgeous.

Eh, that makes more sense than my fellow-student friend who has been FREAKING OUT for weeks.

Well, as long as I make more sense than someone.
Hey, want to come over and make me waffles?

What is even happening?

No, I don't feel that makes any sense.It makes tons of sense, financially speaking (as opposed to freak speaking). It is more sensible to file for any refunds due you as soon as possible, and delay paying any tax you owe, until the last moment before you'll have to start paying interest, or be otherwise fined or penalized.
