If you're going to work for them long term, meara, they may handle taking care of the taxes for you. I worked for Chrysler as an independent contractor for a year and a half. They had me fill out time sheets like their permanent employees and took all the necessary pay out of my check for me.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

Nope, Sail, this would be a I-have-to-pay-all-the-taxes kinda thing. But it would be lots of money, so that'd make up for some of it. :)
Thanks for the rec, Jilli, I have emailed him, and a couple other friends I have here who might have some suggestions. Eep.
Dana, the company I'd work for requires that I get professional insurance, and set up as a company (though it looks like setting up an LLC is pretty easy. I hope.)

Ah, that's right. I still recommend the SEP thing.

That's what counts! I'm considered a contractor right now, but I work through an agency, so they handle all the pay issues for me, insurance, etc. Much better pay than I'd make actually working for a lot of places, but the lack of paid vacation other than major holidays sucks.

Last night Hubby and I went to a restaurant known for their pies, and after I complimented them on having cherry pie so early in the season (mmm, cherry pie), the manager said they'd been laying in stocks of pie for today. Last year they hadn't heard of Pi Day and got wiped out by invading college students.
I got to explain Pi Day to Hubby; it was fun to watch him get the joke--and to be Top Geek if only for a moment.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Actually, when I told my doctor it was Pi Day and said, "You know, 3-14," he immediately started reciting Pi to about the 10th decimal place.
I think I have a crush on him now.

As a result, my head hurts.

I am at the airport awaiting my flight home from Boise. Then I get to repack and head down to San Deigo. We are hoping to meet up with EpicTangent for dinner Saturday night. I don't get to go home-home-sleep-in-my-bed-home until Sunday night.

BEHOLD my geekery!!!!
I love you, Teppy. More than pie (and pi).
I'm glad you got your ulcer checked out. I hope you're on the mend, soon.

I do not have pie for Pi Day. Though I could have chicken pot pie, for lunch...I have one in the freezer.
I just spoke to a guy about an interview on Tuesday. He was like "So, I talked to the guy who would do this interview with you, do you know where the Blahblah Mall is?" and I'm like "Well, I've heard of it, I'm sure I could find it", and he's like "Apparently there's a starbucks right there? and he wants to meet you there." I was like "Seriously, there are probably 15 Starbucks within a mile of there. Can we get an actual address, lest we end up in different starbucks, on opposite corners of hte same intersection or something?"
Yeesh.
