OMG ya'll. about 2:30 I discovered that there was some online compliance training I had to do that was due TODAY!. I had totally forgotten about it. I rushed through it, then decided to look back at the emails around that time and make sure there was nothing else due - THERE WAS A LEGAL SIGN OFF AND ANOTHER ONLINE TRAINING! I just finished. 30 min to spare. so sad also, I had to get 75% on one of the trainings and I got an 83% mostly due to reading on question completely wrong and answering the 4 related questions all opposite of what I meant. DOH!

Argh. Just talked to a recruiter about a job that would be pretty sweet....but they require all their contractors to be incorporated and have liability insurance. I'm not sure how complicated I'm willing to get with this...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
they require all their contractors to be incorporated and have liability insurance.
I think lots of consultants, etc. incorporate themselves for tax reasons....
eta: or maybe it's for liability reasons?

I went to Trader Joe's and started some laundry and realized that my house is a MESS. So there will be vacuuming shortly, when I can crawl off the couch. And later I'm going to see Persepolis at the Parkway with Java Cat.
I've got this lingering sinus infection (I think) which is just sort of sitting there: it's not making me sneeze or cough or blow my nose too much, but I'm exhausted all the time and I just can't drag myself out of bed in the morning. So glad it's the weekend. Argh.

Yeah, and I remember when my last company started requiring the insurance from our contractors, and a few of the people I work with had to try to find it, which was apparently a bit of a pain...they were mostly incorporated for tax reasons (stuff like the company bills for their time, and then pays them a salary, etc etc). It makes sense, but because I am not incorporated, do not have an accountant, etc, it may be more trouble than it's worth. Sigh.
