Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

so if a workplace, say, were to have a motto for the new year, just saying. And that motto was:

Be here, Be now, Be Grateful!

how would you read that?

Green Corps is an actual thing [link] so wouldn't that be confusing? The Saturday Corps? Can you do something with the name of the garden? (A quick google indicates that, with the exception of programs for teens, volunteers are called volunteers or docents.)

I have been able to take the medical deduction several times. It's not as much fun as you'd think.

Tax preparation costs are deductible. Property taxes like car taxes are deductible. So is the cost of a safe deposit box. In some circumstances, miles you drive for a charity are deductible. There are some fuzzy circumstances under which you can claim things used for work.

I'd assume the workplace was run by evangelical Christians.

Be here, Be now, Be Grateful!

I'd assume the subtext is "You could be unemployed."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Be here, Be now, Be Grateful!

Or else? Which is to say, I agree with Ginger.

Green Corps is an actual thing

Right!?! There's that, too. Also, we have an Eco-Corps program already that is completely different from a come-one-come-all volunteer program that has no pressure for weekly comittments yet still we have to send people away during the high months.

I'm still miffed at our eblast declaring that we're "Building a greener future" which I think makes us sound like a pharmaceutical company trying to pay for it's sins.

If you haven't done a pre-tax deduction for child care, you can elect it after the baby is born, even if there is no open enrollment.

Is there an easy (ie free) way to find out how big a tax hit I should anticipate for the big lease payment that is inbound? And how much mineral royalties are taxed?
