GM's thread about nothing (91 Viewers)

Ugh, yeah, that jingle is awful.

Apparently the second senator in Washington (I could only name Patty Murray) is called Maria Cantrell, and she has been a senator since 2000. Who knew?

 
I'm being lauded as a genius at work today for something I did months ago. How do I take advantage of this, assuming that the way I take advantage can't involve getting more money or time out of the office?
Hold a victory parade, with you being pushed along at the head of the parade in your office chair, waving.

It just seems a little douchey to hold your own victory parade. Maybe if I drop some hints, someone else will hold it.

That's also the title of my autobiography.

Get a handy in the break room?
I'm not sure how this would go. The only woman under 60 in my office is the deaf receptionist.

This might or might not be useful.

Back to my rant for a moment, I should say that the principle issue at my wife's school isn't necessarily Common Core...
Egghead school administrators can go screw themselves. I want to go super MOP on these people after blindsiding my wife with a ridiculous review and making her cry. So much wrong with these dufuses with doctorates that have never taught a day in their lives.
It sounds to me like the principle issue...(_)

...is a principal issue.

Oh this is ####### terrible. :lmao:

This ruling is definitely going to get overturned to some extent, but this is so freaking appealing right this second since the facts of the case largely mimic our situation right now. The biggest difference being (and obviously most important) is that my wife has never asked for accommodation. With all the current nonsense and my wife's MS wearing her out more and more, I think this is the perfect leverage for demanding some changes to help my wife.

In the absence of accommodation, $12M would be nice too.

TaxAct or Turbo Tax or Other?

Used TaxAct last year but notice a new DAS Fee that is mandatory to pay before continuing. Good chance I'm doing this wrong, though. :bag:
Anybody? Please?
God i sound whiney. Ignore me. I'm going to use TaxAct I guess. I used them last year. :shrug:
Been using Turbo Tax for a long time, but mostly because it just pulls in my info from the last time. Excelsior!

 
Got Shanghaied into going to India next month. Average high temperature that time of year? 101 degrees. At least it's a humid, middle of the sub continent, surrounded by billions of unwashed poverty heat, right?

Yeah, I figured no one was responding because people tend to use the same one from year to year and haven't tried the others. I use TurboTax and like it, but that doesn't mean TaxAct isn't better. :shrug:

Well, on the bright side, the IPL starts next month and is the premier professional 20/20 cricket league. Unfortunately Sachin Tendulkar has retired, but if you get a chance to check out Mumbai Indians or Chennai Super Kings, I would definitely recommend doing so.

Link to schedule if you are so inclined:

Yeah, I've used them all and think they're all about the same. Each of them has some areas that can be confusing and each has areas that I feel aren't comprehensive enough. But all of them were not that hard to ultimately figure out.

The most important thing is making sure you have a version that does everything you need it to do. Most people just need the basic version, but the more investments you have, typically the higher version you need.

 
What happens when you mix an insurance company, a state agency, and education?

A totally F-ed up monster of a health plan that I belong to. I have until Monday to provide them with info on the people (wife and kids) on my plan. Supposedly they sent everyone a notice to do this stuff months ago. Everyone except for me. $20 says they sent the notices to an address I lived at 10 years ago. It's happened before.
You should start tracking all those people down immediately.
Possible false alarm. Turns out they're auditing only certain people. Some of my coworkers (that were chosen as part of the audit) assumed everybody has to provide all of this info. A couple of people even sent out mass emails reminding everyone to get their stuff faxed in. Now I find out it was just a select few.

Moral of the story? I need to pay more attention to crap like this. Freaking Shelby distracted me.

This is assuming that you have 4-5 days to burn.

Nah, a 20/20 is just 20 innings per side and normally runs about 3 hours or so. Also, they start some games very very late in the evenings to avoid the head of midday, so games sometimes don't start until 10 - 11 p.m.

What's DAS - Document Archival Service?

I did my taxes with TaxAct and didn't pay for the archiving, so I'm sure there's an easy-as-Netflix way to opt out. I just save all my PDFs when I'm done each year.

Yeah, I did a little googling and found out it's not mandatory...I just got sucked into it like a vortex and couldn't find my way out.

I've used them for a few years now. Thinking about picking up Turbotax this year as well, just to compare for go-forward. I don't know if it's worth it, though.

Especially since "principal" would be the correct spelling for both parts of the joke. :mellow:

ETA - I still laughed.

I came home from work a little early today so I could take a walk with the boys and Mrs. SLB as a family before with get stormed on. Of course yesterday I worked out of the house all day and didn't even take a shower. Anyway, I take of my clothes and walk to the dresser to put some sweats on. I hear the boys playing in the backyard which makes me smile. So I peer out the window to see Dylan right there taking a wizz, trying to get the biggest arc as possible, with a big smile on his face. After I stopped laughing, I tap on the window but he was done already and literally does this :shrug: .

Yesterday we were eating dinner at the counter, and I asked my 4 yo a question, something about school I think. She responded with perfect timing with a fart that looked something like this, similar to EG72's brother (?):

It sounded like a truck downshifting on a freeway. My wife just gets up and leaves the room to crack up. I think it was a serious question, but at that point it didn't matter.

Also, she's now wavering between the Cuban kid she went to daycare with and a kid who might throw trash at me some day at her new pre-k. He also invented something called "the huggy", where he just pulls his pants down and walks around in his underwear. The wedding should be a blast.
