The IRS treats each paycheck as representative of what you will make all year, and guestimates at your ultimate tax liability based on that. So if you have say an extra $250 from overtime on a single check, they withhold on the assumption that your annual income will be $6000 higher. Next check, no overtime, back to your regular withholding. It feels hinky, but it's intended to make sure you don't have a huge liability at year end.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Yikes. Big, badass storms with tornadoes all across southeastern Indiana/western and northern Kentucky/Cincinnati and moving east. Definite tornadoes in Indiana; so far 4 reported dead. Whole, whole, WHOLE lot of destruction reported in Kentucky. The airport is closed.
As for me, the damn storm swung around kind of south of the western/central Cincinnati area. All I got was light rain and some thunder. I dodged a HUGE bullet. And AFAIK, flea and family are fine, too.
Wow.

Yeesh. I saw flea post about that on FB. Glad you're out of it.
It looks like it might now be headed Gris and Kate P's way now - stay safe guys!

Really ugly. Looks like a whole town north of Louisville got flattened. Jesus.

Because books.
Oh god, Tep. Yikes. The pictures from the last round of tornadoes were horrifying.

Yep, one of our plants closed, but I don't know them well enough yet to know which location is what.

Yikes Steph! Glad you got out light.
And yay for office buds, msbelle. Although word of warning: sometimes office buds want things from you. I am staying late on a Friday because one of my office buds roped me into his PD committee.
Then again, last week I roped another one of my buds to serve on the publication committee for a new Uni publication, so there you are.

Oh, I forgot to say that: the guy who signed himself "Fred" sounds adorable, too. I like fun work friends.
God, I want to nap. That's probably ill-advised at this hour, though.

thing is, I can never stay late, I have ZERO flexibility with day to day arrival and departure time. I can only do that if it is planned ahead.
Speaking of mac, got a call from the afterschool. Today he chased kids, threw rocks (hitting one child in the face), and kicked another. He is very close to being kicked out. I just don't even know. Today I started him on a double dosage of the anti-anxiety per the psychiatrist instructions given the last week of behavior, but that will take at least a week to get into his system fully.
