Yay, citrus!
Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
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.
I think so, on the limes. The choice on the lemon was Lisbon or Meyers, which I knew I didn't want, so I went with the Lisbon.
Okay, I am so not getting the other stuff on my list done. Life, why so complicated? But hey, taxes. I think I'll refocus on housecleaning now, because I can do that in little dribs and drabs.
I have officially put away the edger, no more yard work today for me. Maybe another round of dishes, perhaps some laundry sorting.
Of course, the big question for me today is which do I watch first, Mad Men or Game of Thrones? I'm leaning towards Game of Thrones at the moment, but I've got a couple more hours to dither.
A caterer/lunch counter near me (since closed down) used to serve a grilled cheese sandwich with basil pesto, sauteed onions and mushrooms, and sliced tomato. It was awesome!
One of my favorite sandwiches is from a cafe near my office - tuna, capers, olives, pesto, and fresh mozzarella on a baguette, toasted in a panini press.

I've already seen both eps and I would vote for watching GoT first, but either order is excellent.
We finally hired an accountant last year since the DH has so much travel and freelance stuff. It was great, except THIS year they informed us that they made a mistake last year and we owed an extra $4,000 for 2011. They are paying the charges and fees, but we have to come up with the money, which we don't have and are putting on a credit card. Not great news when I am unemployed and all. I think THEY should pay it all, since it was their mistake, but apparently since we underpaid and had the money all last year, they don't have to. Sucks.
what business is going to ignore an unpaid balance because you gave an employee a tip??
Right? It's not like slipping free drinks at a bar (not that I know about that personally, if that's cracked down on, too --I think my brother's do that).
But feeling obligated, or being order to give up your tips just seems wrong. Yeah, they're not waiters who live off of tips, but the tipper obviously thought they were doing something worth more than just the basic fare. And we're a non-profit, so it's not like our salaries or paychecks are awesome.
I would imagine there's an official policy, if you guys host parties like that regularly?
Go, Lee! Growing food seems like magic.

I can't imagine anyone is tipping with that in mind.
But they are also not doing it with the organization's general budget in mind. If employees are required to hand them over, and the tippers are not being told that fact, I'd consider that extremely shady, if not outright fraudulent.
