I'm guessing goodwill is taxed differently than capital gains or profits.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

In a business context, goodwill is something that you can't put a price on, like the "value" of a stable customer base. If you are a dry cleaner with loyal customers, for example.
ETA: It usually comes up in the sale of businesses as Tommyrot points out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, I got the new battery for the Volvo and it started up all happy. Of course, it did that after I jump started it, too, so the real test will be after it sits for a bit. But at least it's off the street, in my driveway, and leaving room to get past with the Toyota now. Tomorrow, smog check.

OMG, thank you, Brenda!
Oh, shit, what a massively sucky day for a tons of people I like. I’m so sorry.
Jilli, you will have stuff to make violet mojitos soon. So sorry for you and Pete about losing your kitty.
FredPete, you guys! I’m so sorry! What a sad year for you with your sweet pets.
Gud, that sucks hard-core. I’m not really sure what you do, but if you tell me, I will have people keep their ear to the ground here in KC, ok?
I would rather be done with grading, have it be Saturday (SPRING BREAK!) and be getting stone with Amy and Walter Bishop. Even though I don't know who WB is.
Wait: I'd rather be getting stoned by myself, sitting in a hot tub on a mountain, with a waterproofed Kindle, 12 newly released books by authors I like on it, drinking a couple of glasses of Amarone and eating pork belly, toro and a coffee-and-cinnamon ice cream sundae with a little Kahlua on top. With a bed 5 feet away with a nightstand that has a reading light, a duvet, a carafe of ice-cold lemon water and an Ambien on it. And nothing scheduled the next day.
That's what I want.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So D student emailed me. His official reason for missing the appointment is he overslept. I am giving him points for honesty there. Ugh. I feel for him, it's just... meet me halfway!

I just found out that Tim Hetherington was killed today in Libya. I'm a little stunned that he made it out of the Korengal Valley but not Misrata.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Gud, I'm so sorry. This month has been a pisser for you, and I hope May treats you much better.
