I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

There's a Creative Artist exemption that I can use, after some digging.

Who knew? Not I. I'm still not sure what to do, and I bet I'll have to sit on hold for hours tomorrow to figure out what they want from me in terms of paperwork.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kat, I hope the noodle sleeps it right off.

Aurelia, I'll mention it to my GP.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Allyson, you've got an agent, right? You might try asking her if other clients have had to deal with this.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Allyson, that's annoying. I can't see how 1099 automatically translates to being a business.

Kat! I'm sorry to hear Noah is sick. I hope it clears up soon.

I am so tired I'm kinda useless, but unfortunately I still need to wash dishes and fold laundry. blah.

Oooh, Kat, best of luck to the poor noodle.

Might be. When I was consulting, my accountant advised me to get a business license. She said that it wasn't technically required, but it would be a whole lot less hassle from the city and I could write off the cost.

I'm pretty sure that I filed a 1099 last year. I wonder if that will come around to bite me. Or to complicate my life. Allyson, if you want informal opinion, B's self-employed and might have been faced with that sort of stuff.

I'd been discussing edema with my masseuse friend on the weekend and she's advising me to take my leg in to see the doctor. She's all new agey and heal-through-giving-up-yeast and the like, so her recommendation of Western medicine gets a raised eyebrow from me (if I could actually do it, that is).

Dear lord, this 365 project is about to give me body image issues.

I don't think the issue is the 1099 per se, I've filed plenty of them.

Then what would have triggered this?

Skipping in almost-the-last-minute but still-on-time-according-to-the-board's-time, to wish Anne a happy birthday, a wonderful year and a great, um, second-day-of-her-new-age!

I just wish I were on time for that.
