Tiny Complaints

FWIW, I have slept in a nap pod – or rather tried to – and find them extremely uncomfortable. It’s like being in a weird dentist’s chair crossed with an MRI hood.

Give me a couch in a dark room any day.

My W-2 came today! But it looks like I only paid $1300 fed and $500 state income tax this year. Which I a guessing I will get back 100%, but I was kind of hoping it would be more. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t know what’s 3rd tri and what’s a viral infection and what’s feelings.

You got yours ALREADY?

I’m itching to do my taxes because I get that sweet sweet solar refund.

Just the W-2 and my mortgage interest statement (which also coincidentally came today). I don’t think the investment ones are available yet. I am itching to do it soon too, because the sooner I do it, the sooner I get the money (and the less money has to come out of the investment account for living expenses!)

I got my 1099DIV from Vanguard today.

Oooh, great news!

My husband got his W2 from his new job last week. Mine popped up on the 22nd of January last year so I keep checking to see if they have uploaded them yet. Not sure why I’m doing this because Husband’s old job is a cluster and will probably not get his W2 to us until March or something.

My love, the lord bless her, is once again interested in getting the charitable foundation up and running. But the particular cause she wants to support is guaranteed to get us death threats if not worse. Why? Why must everything be like this?

I woke up in a lot of pain and nauseated. The day is full of important kid medical appointments. Why can’t these be scheduled for a day when I feel ok?

I made a commitment this morning to stay focused at work. I lasted 30 minutes.

I haven’t gotten any actual work done today because I’ve had to handhold non-technical people through technical issues - and EVERY technical issue is, of course, something that I’ve never seen happen before, nor has my boss.

Between this and having to give a presentation yesterday with no prep time, during which I stuttered and made mistakes because no prep time or even time to locate the right files to use in my demo, I feel completely incompetent at my job today.

The head of engineering is visiting our office tomorrow and has scheduled a meeting with me, no indication of what its about. Its probably just either a “random” check in (I know some people have had them though I haven’t heard of it going so high up the management line…), or to talk about the work trip that I organised a couple weeks ago, but my anxiety is so bad right now that i do NOT need this.

Can you open it through an anonymous trust or something like that?

I’m not sure anything is anonymous enough for this topic. But, it’s a good though, and one I’ll check into.

It’s not even eleven and I’m fucking starving because I had breakfast like an hour earlier so I could run and both of these things in combination make me ravenous.

I forgot to precut my steak when I boxed it up to today’s lunch and now I have broken two plastic knives trying to get it into manageable pieces. My bamboo cutlery barely made a dent in it.

We moved a litter box in the corner blocking the fridge (freezer drawer access) and also our access to the garage, because Girl Cat kept peeing there and even if I put pads, they were overflowing and the pee was getting under the pads.

Boy Cat loves the new box and there’s evidence that he used it multiple times. Girl Cat is too good for a used box and decided to pee on the door stop several feet away. And she pooped on the floor of the kitchen in multiple places.

Good thing that Girl Cat is sweet and cuddly, albeit a bit demanding.

We are one of two vendors coordinating a project for a client. The other vendor had their project manager for this project leave and now is having some serious trouble getting particular elements of this project done correctly, and has been for the last several months.

Although this doesn’t really make any problems for my company – most of the time we don’t have to do anything in response, and when we do it basically makes us look like we’re coming in and saving the day – I’m starting to worry about whether someone is going to have an aneurysm, because the client is starting to get pissed and is sending increasingly terse emails, and I can’t imagine folks at the other vendor are feeling good, either.

Today is a completely unnecessary EAT EVERY THING day.
