For my part, apparently my accomplishment for the day will be showering...and that's going to happen any minute.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am trying to do taxes. Technology is thwarting me, though. Sigh.
Plei, is Lilly back to being Lilly, or still Lillian? Matilda may want to make her a card, and she'll want to get it exactly right.
Oh, she's always been Lilly. I'm the only one who ever calls her Lillian.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
::grumble:: Work is sending me to Greensboro NC on Wednesday and I will be there for a week, but due to the schedule (12 to 14 hour workdays expected) and shared transportation I can't figure out any way to try to visit the NC-istas just down the road. I will wave tiredly in their direction .

OK. Everyone do your taxes!!! Then bask in victory.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, we can't do our taxes yet, because our accountant of SEVENTEEN YEARS retired. And didn't tell us until Pete called last weekend.

Oh dear! You would think that would be a thing to announce early.

You'd think, wouldn't you? Yeah, not a happy day at the House o' Reason.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, I finished.
I think I'll let it percolate a while and check it for errors, maybe tomorrow. But it looks like if I'm correct, we'll be paying just over half of what we did last year. I hope that's right.

Jilli,

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I need to do stuff on taxes too, but I took the in-laws to the airport at 6, came home, read a little, and went back to sleep until almost noon.
Now I have some serious TV catching-up to do.

Tipping question: a coworker was working a birthday party rental this Saturday. It's an additional source of revenue for the Children's Education Dept. The parent tipped her. She was feeling guilty and was debating whether to put part or all of it towards the remaining balance owed by the parent. (I objected, but I am poor and take handouts with no argument).
Then she revealed that our former DD had explicitly told the other CHED staffer that if she EVER got a tip, she was to put it all into our org's coffers.
I was kinda bullshit on the first part, and horrified on the second tidbit. But I don't know the morality/legality of it, or what the Thing To Do is. For all I know, giving a generous tip on an unpaid balance could be, what, bribe money to ignore the balance?
