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

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.

Dude, is that the cuddle whatsit? That's almost exactly the right size for what I need in my sunroom. I have a rocking chair, which is old, and lovely, and given to me by my mother-in-law. I want that, and then something soft and relaxy for contrast.

My problem is that I really want something I could also sleep on. But the reality is, when the french doors are open, the length left available is less than six feet. So anything long enough to fold out to sleep on is too long for the space.

I have no good advice about the business stuff except that it's pretty easy to become a sole proprietorship if you should choose to. It'll be interesting to see what happens with our taxes this year with the second jobs and the house and stuff.
