bronwynrhSpeaking of quickies. . . I'd like a. . . yeah, you know. *sigh*
Taxes. IU changed their tax withholding policy and nobody bothered to tell me about it. Ok, maybe they told me about it, but they didn't tell me about it in plain English, nor did they mention that the policy changed applied to me, because I missed it somehow and have found out that I have so far contributed nothing - zip - zilch - nada - to the federal tax coffers because of this policy change. Now, on one hand that's A-OK by me. On the other hand, that could really suck a big 'un come this time next year. *groan* So, I'll fix it by changing one little number and things should be ok. Dad says that as long as the feds get their money by Dec. 31st, they'll be satisfied. I hope he's right :-)
I'm making slow progress in the lab on phase two of my thesis project, but haven't heard a word on that software that will get my manuscript and that 27 GB of data out the door. Still fed up and fuming on that score.
Dave and I got the cannas out of the basement yesterday. It doesn't look as though the firecracker plant made it, and the lavender looks sick - it may be dead but I'm not sure. Eh. We'll see. The cannas at least are fine. Most of the early perennials are coming back and look pretty happy - yay! Dave and I were peering at the gaps where we knew other perennials lay and wondering when and if they were going to come back. We are not experts at this gardening thing, not by a long shot. We love planting and watching things grow, though. Such excitement!
If life goes according to plan today, I hope to get out of here at a reasonable hour so I can enjoy some of the beautiful weather and give my car a bath. It's still green, but not the Silver Fern Chrysler painted it but more of a pollen-greeny yellow. Every time I close the door, a dust cloud of pollen erupts around me.

Date: April 2nd, 2003 10:40 am (UTC)A particular Dane could help me a lot, if he'd ever decide to WRITE BACK TO ME! *sigh*
In the meantime, a quickie would make me feel better. . . at least, temporarily ;-) I don't see any candidates in the vicinity, though, so *shrug* oh well.
Re: um
Date: April 2nd, 2003 10:49 am (UTC)And my aunt, who also love me fiercely but being my aunt lets me get away with more says what?
Cue the family responses . . .
Heeheeeheeee I shouldn't subject my family to my frustrations like this. At least I'm jovial about it and not too crude, right?
Quickie ; -}
Date: April 2nd, 2003 12:36 pm (UTC)My green car is a sickly lime green (yep, that was me that planted those pines and oaks!) but my plants are up! And I only lost one plant in our 29 degrees Monday. Of course, I always rush the season and I KNOW BETTER! This weekend tomatoes and peppers go in the ground - it wouldn't dare freeze again!
Love SA
Quickies....
