Thanks for the info...
But if that's the case, why was nu left out?

Amanda Allen4 said:Ever wonder why the latest COVID variant was slapped with the name Omicron instead of just following the usual alphabetical sequence we've seen with previous versions?

It’s pretty simple—after Delta comes Xi, and since that’s a common Chinese name, they couldn't exactly let that slide if they wanted to stay politically correct.

I’m not really buying this theory...
If we're actually sticking to the Greek alphabet:

Alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda, mu, nu, xi, omicron, pi, rho, sigma, tau, upsilon, phi, chi, psi, omega

How on earth did they skip over epsilon, zeta... all the way through xi... just to land on omicron?

By the way, if you rearrange the letters in "two soy delta, omicron," you get "MEDIA CONTROL."
Interesting, isn't it?

Just snap a photo of the page, set the language to English, and shoot it over to your email.

Bank of America response

Is this questionnaire intended for individual clients?

Sean Gomez4 said:New cars usually roll out of the dealership with temporary tags and a short-term insurance policy that lasts about 15 days. Dealers typically handle all of that. You just get the inspection and permanent registration/insurance sorted within that window.

So why pay extra?
I eventually realized there's no point in paying more than necessary. For my new car straight from the showroom, I made sure I had both liability and comprehensive coverage ready to go. I just picked up the keys and called it a day... though I did have to send over a photo from the dealership to prove the car hadn't been dinged up before I drove it off the lot.

Maybe try "craft"...
I mean, if we’re defining a trade as something involving manual skill or hands-on work, then "craft" actually fits pretty well...
And I'm sure some English professor is going to jump in here to correct me... 🙂

Anyway... I just looked up the official English name for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce:

U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Crafts

Timothy Morgan38 said:hmmm... why does everyone have the exact same salary?

Interest has to be calculated proportionally based on each individual employee's MO2 contribution... I'm still sitting here spinning formulas in my head trying to figure out how to calculate this without losing an entire week of my life...

And it’ll balance fine regardless of how you slice it, as long as the final payout matches R.S.M.U.... but personally, I’d rather do it the right way while I'm at it... just so nobody can come breathing down my neck later claiming I messed something up...

🤷 I don't see the issue here... you can knock this out in ten seconds using Excel...
If you have, say, three employees who contributed a total of $657 MIO, and the total interest calculated is $32, you just figure out each person's percentage of that total and multiply it by the interest—let's say $32..

For example:
Employee | MIO | Share | Interest
A | 500 | 0.253807107 | 24.36548223
B | 650 | 0.329949239 | 31.6751269
C | 820 | 0.416243655 | 39.95939086
Total | 1970 | 1 | $32

Relaxing after everything that’s gone down lately? Between that referendum and those protesters clogging up the streets... 🙂
No way.... there's no such thing as a break right now....

Robert Hernandez11 said:...forget all those links and analogies for a second—what actually matters to me is whether my paycheck is going to be bigger by about $67 this July or if I'm just getting screwed again...☕

...

Hey now... don't go giving away your salary details like that. Since when did your pay stub become public record? Keep some mystery alive, man.

Henry Edwards33 said:I knew it. I just knew a link or some kind of proof was eventually going to show up. 😍

🙂

Besides, am I really supposed to be the one posting links here? Isn't that against the rules? ☕

I guess my colleague isn't exactly in the right chat room then 🙂 🙂

Anyway, I suppose it's my job to keep an eye on these cartoons... watching monsters crawl out of the closet for the hundredth time...

Robert Hernandez11 said:Does anyone in accounting actually know if that 2% emergency tax surcharge is going to hit our July paychecks?
(Every single person I’ve asked is clueless... they just keep saying "we're waiting for the official announcement from the White House"...😁)
Also, when exactly do those new tax rate changes kick in? Is that happening with the July payout too?🤷

You probably asked the wrong group here,🤣

Check the Federal Register, issue 56/10.

Bradley Perez7 said:Sorry for crashing this thread like a total amateur, but I noticed you guys have been around the block and actually know what you're talking about, so maybe you could point me in the right direction. I’ve been staring at my screen for hours trying to make sense of this, and honestly, I can't find a single decent answer anywhere online. If you wouldn't mind taking a quick look at the Association's thread, I’d really appreciate the help🙏

Anyway, I'm dropping the link here for anyone else interested in how accounting works for non-profit associations.

I’ll just hang on until I can get home and jump in the shower.. 🙂
But apparently, I'm stuck here until 4:30... 🙂
Right under the heading: overtime

Looks like things are heating up... everyone's threatening red cards now.
I have zero intention of getting tossed out like that guy did yesterday during the game against Greece. 🙂

So, I’m shutting down the shop and heading off for some much-needed downtime. 🙂🙂

Hey Vlad... what's up? 🙂

doVla....okbo

😠

Hang on a second... the long weekend officially kicks off in about half an hour... actually, let's call it a little sooner than that🙂
Give me twenty minutes
