Client just emailed me with another job; a medium-sized project, so a decent-sized chunk of cash when it's all added up ( Read more... )

Today was one of those days where the errands I had to do on the way to & from the Y overshadowed the Y visit itself, to the point that I almost left without my gym bag. Bank, library, post office, and hardware stores shouldn't be that overwhelming, but I continue to be a bear of little brain in these matters ( Read more... )

Several people lately have told me that I should start a business packing for people. I'm very good at packing, and I kind of like it. Apparently there are a lot of people who aren't and don't, and some of them are willing to pay money to avoid it.

Paid the property taxes today. Ouch ( Read more... )

I know I should've taken the car into the shop when it was having the very minor transmission-slippage this fall. But it only happened when the engine was cold, and it eventually went away, and I just didn't want to deal ( Read more... )

It leaves me lots of time for designing new userpics (such as the one debuting with this post), but it's not quite what I had in ( Read more... )

Today is the deadline for filing fourth-quarter self-employment taxes. If I don't owe any additional taxes for 2007, I don't have to file for Q4. However, to figure out if this is the case, I essentially have to do my year-end taxes. As a paperwork reduction option, this is kind of made of fail ( Read more... )

Went to the dentist this morning. Various fillings were adjusted so my bite is, if not perfect, at least closer to normal. That plus Medrol is expected to make the hypersensitivy and achiness go away ( Read more... )

Today, I turned down a full time job offer. This may sound foolish on the face of it; the bookstore's not a bad place to work, the people are mostly nice, and the perks included a parking sticker. If only it hadn't paid just over half of what I need to cover expenses ( Read more... )
