Notes From Cubicle 211-A

Damn you got hosed. Being married netted me a cool $1,300 or so in extra refund.

Some athletes go through coaches in that same amount of time.

 

And if you're going to look for a new job, now is the best time to do so while you're still getting a paycheck.

I'm not a tax accountant so the only thing I can figure is that since the taxable income is more than twice what it was last year we fall into that dreaded "middle class trap" or whatever you call it where you get screwed no matter what. Damn that George Bush.

 

Maybe it'd help if we adopt six African orphans this year. Or claim the puppy and the cat as dependents.

I've probably been here too long but since 1) my boss generally leaves me alone and just lets me do my work, 2) they keep giving me good raises and/or promotions each year, and 3) I get to work my preferred schedule (6A-4P, with minimal overtime/weekends) in addition to getting every other Friday off, I'm pretty much content. Bored with the work a lot of the time...but content.

 

I've felt motivated to browse the want ads recently because there are certain lazy/incompetent people I'm tired of dealing with and management has made some weird decisions in the past few months that I don't think are necessarily in the company's best interest. But since this "new" job will put me away from the people I'm tired of dealing with all the time and is a near-complete change of job responsibilities, I figure I'll stick it out for a while. Plus, I figure that there will be lazy/incompetent people and questionable management at whatever other place I might go to.
