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?

Be here, Be now, Be Grateful!

I would wonder about the capitalization choices? And as everyone else said, read it as a "Suck it up you've got a job, O Ungrateful Ones!" Which would seriously piss me off. Unless I was working for like, a church. Wherein the "be here be now" part starts sounding like meditation? Is this a yoga place or something? That would be a good motto for them. A regular workplace, no.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Yuuuup.

Yay bon!!

Once again, I had a painless public transit commute home through a storm. Sweet!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

it is painfully tone deaf, I cannot even.

I got partially out from the pile of paperwork today. maybe in another week, I will feel calm enough to start looking for something better suited.

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

Sounds kind of AA-ish to me.

I don't know how complicated it is, but I'm pretty sure it's free to fill out your own 1040 on the IRS website. If you have to estimate some things, at least you can get a sense?

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

Or by new age yoga types.
