Tax time

Well I cross-referenced Taxcut with the CA FTB and the tax refund amounts match. But I was confused with the CA income adjustment amount. I thought it wanted me to include the federal taxable interest amount. So I double-checked with Schedule 540CA and I'm not supposed to include that. Anyways, it's all good now. I think I got hung up on the same thing last year. Even though TaxCut includes state, I'm going to use the FTB site to eFile for free.

What rhymes with orange? Smorange.

Today I packed a big orange in my sack lunch. A big orange is either sweet or bitter. There is no in-between. Usually, oranges that big are overripe. Some of the orange flesh has dried up and it tastes bad. My orange was like that. I have two more oranges in the fridge which are probably bad too.

Early to bed...

Last night, I went to bed early for the first time in a long time. I could have gone to bed at 9pm but I stayed up until 10pm. I usually go to sleep between midnight and 1am. Sometimes I stay up until 1:30am or 2am and I can barely stay awake at work. Although I got out of bed several times during the night, I felt quite refreshed the next morning. As the day worn on, I still needed to drink a can of Pepsi though. I guess I didn't have enough work to keep me busy today. Well, tomorrow is the start of my 4-day weekend. Woot!

Teaching an old dog new tricks?

How many times do you have to teach someone how to do something before they will know how to do it themselves? One of my co-workers keeps asking me the same questions about how to edit a web page. I already gave her a full hands-on tutorial. Yet each time, I have to explain using a step-by-step process and she won't try anything on her own because she's afraid of messing things up. Copying and pasting folders isn't rocket science. After I explain the basics to someone, I expect that person to run with it. I don't like wet-nursing sandbaggers.
