Happy Birthday Dylan,
I hope you have a wonderful day.
We all love you here on this site.
It's been 11 years since we first met.
Keep in touch when you can. :wub:

God I hate the IRS. They say we owe 722 flippin' dollars. I can't write off the distance travelled from my house to the client's either because I need to have a designated working room "that isn't used for anything else". I'm gonna panel in the porch, stick a chair in it and say it's my office.

(Might I also add that HR Block charged us 313 dollars essentially just to tell us "you're screwed"?)

Look at me complaining about the government- almost like a real grown-up!

Suzu, I know how you feel about the IRS. I have a corner in the basement with a desk and a computer on it. That is my office when I have to work from home on a 1099. I figure is is 1/8 of household expenses (heat, electricity) for working there. It's too cold here to work on a porch.

Jordan, I hope you get relief soon. It is not good to work so hard with no break.

Dylan better get back soon, or this cake will be all gone.

Bruce, Maybe you can locate him, and tell him he's wanted over here.

@Jordan: Yeesh, that's rough. I do get the next day off after my 24's, but either way. Wish we could all just be millionaires and not deal with this crap.

@Dale: My job requires me to show up directly to the client's home- I mean yes there is paperwork, but besides signing my timesheets, I don't directly deal with any of it. There's no reason I need an office except to appease these greedy bastards. I'm making it my mission to screw them out of as much money as I can next year.

I doubt anyone will have much luck finding him. Probably under a pile of boys.

@suzu and dale: Tuesday is my last day. However, my manager Jasmin has said I’ve been “slacking” so I’m only on one day so far. Like I’m sorry I’m tired, but if you see me, I LITERALLY look like death, so 🤷🏻‍♀️I don’t care honestly.

Jordan,
I'm sorry that you lost your job. That manager was working you way too hard. It was just not right. Can you collect Unemployment? The Unemployment Office would have to contact your old boss, but "slacking"off is not a valid excuse for getting rid of you, when you've been working such long hours 24/7. Give it a try.

I got another job, and put my two weeks in. That’s why I was “slacking” off. But my last day is Tuesday, whether or not she puts me on the schedule

I hate bitchy managers. They always have something to complain about.

Ah, vacuuming day. Today we purge the land of the blanket of cat hair what has settled over every inch of it.

Jordan, how is the new job going?

Alora, how are the kittens doing?

Dale, how have you been?

I cannot believe it has been so long since I checked in. I would like to spend some time catching up but I am rather tired tonight. It is usually very late before I find the Lounge which is why it has been so long since I posted. My life continues much the same way it has been however my sister who had been living quite a distance from me has moved back down here, she is now about 26km from me so she is taking much more of my time. That is all for now but I hope everyone is doing well and will only do better.

Bruce, I note with interest that I did not receive a virtual hug. This is punishable by virtual ass-kicking.

The kittens are well, Sasha is slightly smaller than your average cat, and is possibly the clingiest creature in the whole world. She will meow in complaint if you are not petting her with both hands.* Yuffie is a tubby-wubby beastie who enjoys sleeping and using the door frame as a scratching post. He has figured out what time T usually gets up to pick me up from work and will start headbutting him if he doesn't get out of the bed.

(ignore the background chatter, T is playing a video game)

I'm glad to hear that you're still alive, you can't abandon your fans. I hope you're feeling well today and get some free time soon.

This is my little brother. I share genetic code with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN-wFRt2F9A

No virtual hug? But I thought... *interrupts to franticly pat down pockets pausing at the front right pocket of his jeans he reaches in and starts to pull something out only to quickly shove it back in the pocket with a big, slightly embarrassed grin - reaching into his shirt pocket he pulls out... * As an apology I offer this: https://twitter.com/HWarlow/status/990285929448394752

I do miss having a cat in my life. And crows. It is a shame your little brother couldn't have gone to the Moon (The Misty Moon) with me in the eighties to see Rough Trade, particularly after the band broke up and they had to draft buddy from Fire (A Jimi Hendrix cover) to back up Carole and Kevan. The Moon was the place for head-banging in the eighties. As the videos are not great quality, I offer an interview (as much as I dislike the Bumblopulos show): https://youtu.be/j0TS2SQQPgs. Somewhat better sound for the music is Rough Trade - Avoid Freud (1980) Full Album on YouTube Having a poop just isn't the same without an animal watching you or sitting on your lap.

This just in: https://youtu.be/UE6iAjEv9dQ

Geezer.
I so glad that you have someone close to you in N.S.
Suzu,
Your cats sure are getting big, but they still act like kittens very playful.

I had 4 cats. Little Kitty died last week. It lost so much weight that it was down to 3 lbs. The med we got from the Vet didn't work.

The other cats we have are doing fine. Brown is a 14 year old female and doing well. Silly is a 3 year old female (not fixed yet). Our male cat Bitey is 3 years old too. He's fixed but doesn't act that way when Silly is in heat. We got Bitey from an Egg farm. It was so tiny that I had to feed it with a baby bottle, like you'd use for a doll. Now, he's 12 lbs.

Dylan, I wish you'd come back and eat this (correction) CAKE. We'd all like to hear from you. ^o)

Bruce, Work is going well, however I’m convinced they’re trying to kill me. I haven’t been sleeping well, unfortunately.

And Dale, please not the cat. Dylan, you better NOT eat the cat either.

Just a quick hello, "Hello!"
Really tired lately, sleeping a lot but recovering I think. Maybe had a flu or something.

Allie, welcome back, so good to see you again. We always had faith. :)

I hope you are sleeping better now Jordan.

No, no, no. The punchline from the old joke is, grease the cats as... um, never mind.

An MBA when you could be going after the coveted BA?

I am certain Dylan will be here when he can but life is keeping him busy for now. Who knew he would ever prove useful but it happens to us all.
