Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It is 5:15 and everyone in my department left early. I, however, am not leaving early because starting next week I have PT three times a week and will be in late (and working through my lunch and making up the time but it's still coming in late...) nine times in the next three weeks already. Um, and I am whiny. I mention it because there's no way you could tell...

I just put 23 change orders in for one job. Good god this just needs to go to press. That's over forty hours at at least $100 an hour that I am billing.

I'm going to dink around for the next 12 minutes and then leave. On time.

The only bad thing is, when it's just me I can get loads more done around here.

Purty dress...

And it's time! Wheeeeeeeeee!

I've purposely not bookmarked that antique dress site because I could totally max out my credit cards at that place. There's just too much pretty stuff.

Oooh. Pretty.

I'm usually pretty good about not clicking through to clothes porn, lest the PTB here think I'm wasting resources by shopping at work, but, but, oooooh.

I agree with Laura above and would totally be in favor of a flat tax. Just X% and that's what they get. I would be far less grouchy about it that way.

The problem with a flat tax is that it's unfair to poor people. People with greater ability should bear a greater percentage of the tax burden.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That is a very Aimee dress.

This is why I want a graduated tax, but lower and with no deductions. Then it would be easier and people with lots of accountants (read, rich people) wouldn't get all the breaks. I think I'm in a minority of one, maybe two, on this though.

yeah. and then if you start doing it flat in stages you just slippery slope your way back into a complicated tax code.
