Dammit.So despite the fact that in all respects I'm an employee (don't schedule my own jobs, don't get free reign on what to do, etc.), for tax purposes I'm a "sole proprietorship". Because my "boss" doesn't deduct Medicare and Social Security. I didn't even realize that was the case until a week ago.
Fuck.
Sigh this reminds me I still need to do my incorrect local taxes correctly so the government can "correct" it to where they keep all my money and we can have the same argument we have every year whereby I prove I get a refund of every dime they collected and they refuse to do it.

Status: So with our company's fancy bottleneck system, they've now managed to get someone's code review to take over a week, and they still haven't approved it, because there's a 1 day delay before anything can get to the reviewers (they only look at it around noon) and they insist on taking turns.
The latest thing they're upset about is that I logged something like
_logger.Log($"blahbleeble {bleeh} splef");
instead of_logger.Log("blahbleeble {@bleeh} splef", bleeh);
- you know, the way that the IDE has hints for and is easily understandable, and doesn't have a token system that isn't even either of C#'s standards.At least the person whose pull request it was a week ago is back, so he can deal with it.

@Dreikin Well, you could file as an employee and wait for the IRS to start mailing you and your employer letters.

Last day before paternal leave starts! April-September of All Molly All The Time.
Super excited.
And speaking of the exact opposite of super excited: doing invoicing now. Which is the only reason my leave is starting tomorrow instead of today.
Woo hoo?

God ducking dammit Windows 10 has got to be the most troll-buggeringly user-hostile OS I've ever used. And I've used Gentoo.
I still don't understand why it takes 5 minutes for it to check for updates...anyone have any explanations? I'm on my desktop on a wired connection, so network doesn't seem to be the issue, and I'm on a speedy Samsung 950 SSD...
Because eleventybillion other machines are doing it at the same time?

Status: Thursday evening I pick up a laptop from a client that wanted an SSD upgrade, more memory and upgraded to Windows 10 and Office 2016. They were closed on Friday because of the holiday.
This morning I wake up to an email from her asking about how to get the laptop back.
Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck. I forgot all about it. Never even opened the laptop bag over the weekend.
Fuck.
So I call her, no answer. I leave a message. No return call. I send an email. I totally dropped the ball and expected to have to profusely apologize for screwing up and not having it done. So I go in to my office, install the SSD, load Windows, load Office, install all the other crap, etc.
2PM and I still have not heard back from her. Laptop is all done and has been for a while. I look back over the email from this morning and see where she said she would be in meetings all day today. Disaster averted.
I would have likely blamed United Airlines anyway. Seems like the popular thing to do.
-
I exercised. I ate well. I slept well. I even went out and got social contact.
Why the fuck am I still so tired all the time? WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?

Not enough posting on WTDWTF?

Oh wait, here it is now, my sudden afternoon mood boost! It's 2 hours late today, probably because I woke up later than usual.
Now let's see if it's one of those 2 hour ones or the 5 minute ones.

In the past week, three of the servers I administer have locked up so hard I've needed to put in tickets to have them reset. This is BAD...

About 20 on a regular basis, about 100 if you count all my other hats.

Welp. Tax return is huge. Need car parts.
May as well buy a parts car.
This is perfect. It's at auction. An auction attended mainly by shady used car dealers looking for cars to fix and flip, and people looking for cheap rides that are ready to go. To undo the idiot mods and put it back to near stock and fix the body damage exceeds the retail value of the vehicle. It's got the parts I need for my project. It's the exact right year that Leila can steal the engine if the one in her car is actually burning oil (which I think it is).
And I'll have a hilarious rear spoiler to put on something utterly inappropriate!

Status: So I finally got back into a console session on my laptop after having RDP-ing into it over the weekend.
Surprisingly enough, most of my windows went back where they were supposed to on the second monitor, but some did.... a weird thing.

Kinda upset that I didn't use 60% of the tax papers I was sent, but I can't be bothered unless it makes a big impact...
