I should change mine to 2, I guess. I never get a lot back, but I'd still rather have it during the year. But, like amych, I never really knew for sure which was which.

Fifty degrees is too cold for flip-flops, huh? I just got a pedi yesterday, and I want to wear flip-flops! Oh, well. Sounds kind of windy, too. Woe.

Kat, insent to profile addy.

I applied for a job at textbook company.

I worked for one several years back and really enjoyed it.

job~ma! Kat & everyone who needs it

I see that today is going to be the kind of day where I do everything I completely spaced on doing yesterday.

The show used examples of toddler helping strangers by picking stuff up that they were reaching ineffectively for. The comparison was inherently flawed, since by the time a human has worked out how to solve the chimp problem (and those chimps were slick) the morality issue would be clouded by so many other variables.

Immoral or amoral? I would tend to think amoral simply because at 8 or 9 do children have moral standards?

Amoral is what I mean.

Well now how are we to discuss the differences between the two and at what age one starts to comprehend societal standards if you're just gonna say, "That's what I meant"? Where's bon bon????

Gloomcookie, read, responded, backflung.

Today is like Monday. But midweek, so even more distressing.

Ha! I'm sorry. I've been trained out of trying to speak intelligently about morality. I figure it's Not My Problem.

Where's bon bon????

No shit.

The show I was watching was conflating cooperation with sentience, and marking chimps down one because they'd only cooperate if there was something in it for them. We're all moralled up because sometimes we'll just help, apparently. Maybe we're just playing a longer game than the chimp.

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.

I think this is a little known fact but the IRS has a calculator on their website. You enter information from your most recent paycheck, estimate what your deductions should be (based on last year's tax return) and they tell you how much you should expect to owe/get at the end of the year. Then they tell how to change your W-4 if you want to not be owed a bunch of money at tax time.
