I was not before, but now am totally picturing Jesse in Paris and Iceland, with cowboy hat and boots and fringe. :)
Had a sleep study last night with CPAP. Will find out how it went soon. First, an annoying work teleconference and a horrid email from someone who is pissy because she feels like she's being scapegoated, and wrote an awful "I am so offended how dare you scapegoat me this is all your fault and not mine" email, and now I have to write a conciliatory "I'm sorry you feel that way and the follow up I was doing was only because the situation happened, and not blaming you" when what I WANT to say is "bitch please, if you had done your job, none of this would be a problem, but you didn't, so now SEVERAL people are in trouble"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, check me on this; I know I'm not a tax professional, but this sounds weird: the AMA hasn't sent me a 1099 for my 2013 work, so I sent an email to my boss to follow up, and she said that I don't get a 1099 "because [I'm] a contractor." Um, that's EXACTLY who gets 1099s, right? That's the point of a 1099 -- it's for non-employees who work and receive payment from a company.
Right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
When I was a contractor, I got 1099-MISC.

That is the form I meant, yeah. I just shorthanded it to "1099". Sorry.
My question still stands though: don't companies have to provide 1099-MISC forms to contractors who are paid to perform work for the company? It sounds like my boss is saying the opposite of that: that *because* I'm a contractor, I don't receive a form that contractors are *supposed* to receive.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Your boss is wrong, Tep. Freelancers should get 1099's from their contract employers.
