Eh, whatever. Just let your brain rot for a bit. You’ve definitely earned it! 🙂

And even if I did, I wouldn't give a damn anyway 🤣

A little tribute to Henry Edwards33—she earned it. I just hope she doesn't stumble onto any toxic weeds while she's at it!

Let’s settle this debate once and for all regarding these two options:

- A standard bank card—you know, the one you use online to mess around with your account and pay bills (like with Boeing, for instance) to cover those monthly maintenance fees, I think.$5.00 month(s).

- A specialized bank security token—(the kind Boeing offers that looks like a USB stick) which you have to register specifically IN YOUR NAME!! It acts as an electronic signature, which works for the IRS e-filing system and most other digital government services, except for the ones handled by the Treasury. And obviously, once that e-signature is active, it stays ON until you manually revoke it.

- The Treasury is basically a parasite—a leftover relic from some old-school bureaucratic era—which is why they keep selling us stuff that really should be free. Honestly, they don't seem to realize it would be way smarter if we just submitted our Rhode Island filings, TSI, and all those other UNNECESSARY documents online. (Following the model of the IRS and similar agencies, it should just be part of standard government operations!!) It would save everyone the headache of wasting time standing in line at a service window. But... once you get caught in their system, you're stuck there until retirement, so they just keep bleeding us dry.

I mean, who in their right mind thinks it makes sense for a Treasury department to MONITOR fuel sales?? Why are they doing work that thousands of well-paid statistical agency officials could handle? Etc., etc... But hey—the government doesn't know anything about it, so shhh!!

Happy National Day of Doing Absolutely Nothing to You All. Because today—officially—we aren't working.

I’m wishing everyone a massive helping of hearty chili—honestly, I haven't seen a batch this good since the last time we gathered around the big pot at the local diner! But please, a quick word of advice: let's try not to cut in line when you're waiting for your bowl... some people are actually trying to enjoy their day off here.

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY!!!!

If you think these little scuffles over free handouts are intense, we haven't even scratched the surface yet, if you ask me...
Once the payroll adjustments kick in due to those new federal regulations, followed by everyone jumping ship and resigning from their positions...
well, yeah, that's when the real chaos begins...

I don't know, I've got a bad feeling about this too... feels like trouble is brewing.

Back at the grind after five days off. 🙂

Come on ladies, let’s pull together here... the fishermen will be out before dawn!! Grab your gear—get those programs ready, fire up the keyboards, grab the calculators and a flask. (!!) What’s wrong with you all? Time is flying—I just finished setting up the foundation, dove straight into the numbers, and... you guys are already taking a break?!? Get to work, no excuses!

Man, it's heating up out there. The tourists are starting to flock to Broadway, strolling around in—well, let's just say they aren't wearing much. Even if it's technically "off limits," I don't see any harm in a little people-watching...

Are you seriously out there wandering Broadway at dawn? 😉

I’ve been officially tasked with sending my regards to the whole crew here on the forum; Dubravka20 mentioned she’s out of surgery, doing well, and keeping us all in her thoughts 🙂

I can only hope she wasn't thinking about the accounting department during her recovery—at least she’ll finally have a legitimate excuse to get a break from them... 🙂

Thanks for the warm welcome. Dubravka Surjak

I mean, there’s just no way around it—they aren't there anymore. Nowadays, when a cruise ship rolls in, people actually have the sense to put on sunglasses so they don't blind themselves—though even then, their eyes end up bloodshot from the strain once they take them off. It used to be different, though. Back in the day, it was all wealthy older folks cruising around, but now? It’s just a bunch of random kids wandering about.

@gric: give her my best!!!

So, it's the weekend, huh? Not a single person checking in?? Hope you all have a great one...

thanks, you too! 🙂you actually worried about me? honestly, when a girl goes quiet for that long, it’s usually a bad sign.

It’s more than just that—it’s become a habit at this point. If I don't get barked at at least a couple of times a day, honestly, it feels a little weird. But hey, you all just keep lounging around while I head off into another workday!!

Weekend Getaways
Mondays are strictly reserved for doing absolutely nothing, especially when the weather is as miserable as it is today 🤣
I think I spent half the day just sleeping through the gloom 😂😂😂

Where's everyone hiding? What are you all up to? 🍿

I am digging. Literally... the sand has turned to stone, and I still have to pour some concrete over it. This kind of work—it’s the stuff that makes you feel alive, where you can actually feel the blood pumping through your veins. My back doesn't even hurt yet, but honestly, to everyone out there stuck sitting behind a desk all day... you should try picking up a shovel once in a while!

I’m out here sprinting through paperwork, trying to launch this separate branch of the business, and honestly? I’m losing my mind. In the meantime, I’m hunting for any job I can find. It’s not like I have a choice—bills don't pay themselves, and I've got zero bread in the pantry. So, tonight, I guess I’ll just be eating 🍿
.

Of course—still sitting around doing absolutely nothing?!? Enjoy your weekend of total laziness.
