Mom and I had a great time cleaning out my room yesterday but she hit upon my big problem when she said, "if you're not willing to get rid of this stuff you're going to need more storage." Looks like I'm about to break my Ikea cherry.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The status is NOT quo.
I'm sorry you aren't able to get the tattoo today, Perkins. I hope the kitty is okay! Also, I can't remember if I congratulated you on your new job anywhere, so CONGRATS!
This job would be so easy if it wasn't for the customers.So true of so many jobs.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I have been cleaning today. It is long overdue. Now I'm about to find my stuff to go do my training before I lose all the light outside. There were snow flurries, but they seem to be gone now.
It's a brick workout today. The plan only calls for 10 minutes of running after 40-60 minutes of cycling, but I may do more.

Kristin, I wonder if it's related to this - I remembered seeing this yesterday and it seems like a strange coincidence.
I am a USAA customer so i ran to my account. then I remembered that i don't write checks anymore, so that's okay. I've been on the same box of checks since I opened the account five years ago.

Integrating the live and recorded elements of the production is no easy task, according to director Stefan Novinski, because it requires precise timing.
Am I right in thinking that this is ND's task?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'll be moving my desk that's been in this position for 8 years soon. I don't want to see back there...

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Am I right in thinking that this is ND's task?That is the show he is working on. The task of integrating is a bit of everyone. While ND will handle the playback, the director and the actors have to work it. Luckily the two big figures in that task are some of the best in the business (ND and Stefan)

Perkins, how is the kitty doing now?
IOmememeN: Have not been as present here as I sometimes am, the last little while. There was a reason. That reason was one that caused me fits of screaming rage frequently over the last couple or three weeks, so you'll understand why I had to pull back a little bit so as to keep from leaking my unhappiness all over.
The matter was, that I'd looked at my W-2 and realized they had not taken out as big a chunk as I am used to, and my estimates of what I should be paying in taxes told me that I might be as much as $1000 in the hole to the IRS. In a funk and fuddle, I stumbled into the office at work, to check on my W-4 and redo it. I figured I must have made some kind of error in filling it out. But it turned out that I had originally filled it out exactly as it instructed. I ended up changing the W-4 so there will be more money taken out, but it still rankles a bit. I know, the IRS does not really care about my personal information so much that they would feel lied to if I fill that form out to make sure enough is taken out of my paychecks. But that part of me that likes order and precision feels as though I lied. It made me all kinds of angry to feel that I was being punished for following instructions.
Anyway, good news. I filed using TurboTax online, and it made me jump through all kinds of hoops, finding deductions and credits that never occurred to my "I can do the 1040EZ by myself if I follow all the instructions just like my 9th grade Civics teacher showed us" mind. And I'm a much happier camper. Instead of being in the hole for $1000, I'm getting a refund. A $10 refund.
Have you seen anyone as happy as I am to be getting $10 back? Probably not.
X-posty.
