Yay Sparky family!
ION, here is my current plan: I'll cut a hole in the top of my skull to pour coffee in. Then I'll cut a hole in the bottom of my skull to drain the coffee after it's percolated through my brain....
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sounds like a pretty complicated operation, Tommy. Better have a cup of coffee first.
Congrats on the Babyfras!! Can't wait to hear the name...
Sorry to hear about the sick kidlets, Kat.

Our wings are not tired
Self employed peeps: Do you do W2, 1099 or Corp to corp? Why?
This is from a little way back, but I didn't see anyone say anything.
I get a mixture of both W2 and 1099. I don't have too much say in which one. Many companies don't want to list me as an employee, as such I get 1099'ed, Some hire me through employment agencies like Cast and Crew, in which case I get a W2. The places I teach as an adjunct I get paid as a part time employee, so it's also a W2.
My experience has been that I don't have too much say in the matter. I like having a balance of the two. When I do get paid on a W2, I usually claim zero exemptions and have some extra money withheld out of each check just to help offset the amount that I'll owe at the end of the year due to a lot of 1099 income.

Yay sparkybaby!
Boo on sick kidlets. At least Grace is at Huntington. Hope sleep is found soon.
Hubble is back in orbit. Release shortly before 9 am. I "saw" it.
OMGWTF, you SLACKERS. For weeks we've been prodding the teams to get us necessary info. Crunch starts NOW, and I'm going to be very busy. So now they decide to start asking "um, how do we do this again?" I keep flipping off my monitor.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yay, Hubble!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congrats Sparky!
I'm sorry for your kiddies' health woes, Kat. I hope they're better soon.

Every year the Eurovision contestants strive to remind us all that The Apple was not nearly the parody that most Americans assume, and this year is no dissappointment.
The winning entry, from Norway
The AWESOME entry, from Serbia.

That Norwegian kid terrifies me. I think he might be plotting to come to my house and kill me and eat me.
