I have a bad feeling about today.

Punishingly Intricate
I've met kids. I remain unconvinced.
But, that's the bright spot in that story! Those kids were cooperating.
Cooperating to do evil but still!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
MORE allowance will lower withholding - check.
Dude. Do you know how many years I have tried to figure that out? I always say to myself, "self, you ought to do something more productive with that money throughout the year rather than waiting on a refund", and then I dig up a form and it says nothing - NOTHING - about what messing with the "or enter some other random number" would actually do.
And then I forget about it until the next year instead of asking someone, which, you know, my issue. But. Would it absolutely kill them to say on the form "deduct more" or "deduct less"?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a bad feeling about today.
I do too, sarameg, and I have no idea why.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Little kids are immoral little beasts.
Immoral or amoral? I would tend to think amoral simply because at 8 or 9 do children have moral standards?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And then I forget about it until the next year instead of asking someone, which, you know, my issue. But. Would it absolutely kill them to say on the form "deduct more" or "deduct less"?
Seriously. All of a sudden this year, I was like, "Fuck! What does 2 mean again? Is that the one where I've fucked up and owe a lot, or is that the right one? How could that be the right one? Not sure. Well, we'll see..."

I did not know childcare was deductible.
Yes. THANK GOD.
I pay enough in childcare now that it's like the equivalent of parochial school tuition. Which I guess means I should get my kids baptized in the Catholic Church so we can afford private school at some point.
I applied for a job at textbook company. Meep. Nothing will prolly come of it, but still.
I can't find the form I need to keep my current job. I seem to have lost it. Is that a sign?

Now tagless for your comfort.
A co-worked of DH's figured out that he needs to claim 9 to exactly owe nothing and get nothing back on his tax return. I think it took him years to figure it out.

Coding and Sleeping
I've noticed vultures flying around the office building today. I suspect it has something to do with the Ford Sales Rally being held in the building today.
