I just did our taxes today. Way easier than I expected it to be (we changed some financial stuff around, so there were more hoops to jump through, but the software made it really easy).
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
unless I did something wrong, my taxes swung almost $900 the wrong way. $700 refund last year, this year I owe $165.
Some stuff did change, but still. UGHHHH.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I did my taxes today, too. Refund was down, but still more than what I had to pay to the state. Comparing witholding to last year I did pay less this year.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Scrappy, I'm sorry for your loss. It just hurts to say goodbye.

I'm so sorry, Scrappy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One thing I've heard about this year's taxes is that there was less withholding/more in your paycheck, which might lead to lower refund/owing money, even if that doesn't reflect a difference in the amount of taxes you're paying.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My condolences, Scrappy and family.

Yeah, withholding was reduced at least in part to make the tax bill more popular. Problem is that for most people the difference wasn't enough to really notice and when tax season comes, surprise! In hindsight, probably not the best plan.
Something interesting just happened this weekend. I was contacted by a company because they had seen my name in the opened-sourced IRIS code and apparently want to talk to me about a job. Well, initially they just wanted to ask some questions about the code but one thing led to another. Kinda awkward since I just accepted a job offer. Don't know if that will go anywhere or not.
