:coffee1a:
Now that I am getting paid regularly from the agency I work for I can rest easy. My first payday is heeeeerrrre and I replaced my unemployment. Next paycheck will be almost double this one. So for about half the hours of work that I performed for my asshole previous employer, I am making about $800 more per month just from this one agency. Regular employment (even if just contract employment) is sweet. I don’t think I want another job though because the freedom of working from home is extra nice.
Take THAT.
Oh and Simple: congratulations on your new niece. Whoooo hoooo!!!
Quoting: CuriousSeeker That is awesome, but just a word of advice: if you are a contracted worker (1099), prepare to save up and pay out the ass on your taxes. I was a 1099 worker for a few years and I couldn't believe how much more I was paying in taxes. Fuck da man! Quoting: KickinIt Oh I can't wait for tax time. I am no fan of Trump's new tax plan believe me. No, I'm not a fan of Hillary either. I think both extremes are dangerous. I'm a champion of the truth and justice, not what is right for party lines. And I am not looking forward to tax time for sure. I'm already putting away at least 30% of my checks for taxes. Quoting: CuriousSeeker I'm not blaming anyone in particular, they can all go to hell as far as taxes go. Too much of our paychecks go to taxes, which seems to keep increasing over time. For what it's worth, when I had a 1099, I had a tax guy helping me and he told me to put away 40%. FORTY. Quoting: KickinIt Agreed! Forty. Aaahhhhhhh. [head desk] [head desk] It's Friday. Tax talk is banned. Kidding. But seriously, let's have less heart attack inducing discussions. :smirkycat1: |

Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated THE SUN IS DIMMING: Today at Cape Canaveral, SpaceX launched a new sensor to the International Space Station named TSIS-1. Its mission: to measure the dimming of the sun. As the sunspot cycle plunges toward its 11-year minimum, NASA satellites are tracking a decline in total solar irradiance (TSI). Across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, the sun's output has dropped nearly 0.1% compared to the Solar Maximum of 2012-2014. This plot shows the TSI since 1978 as observed from nine previous satellites: [ link to spaceweather.com] The rise and fall of the sun's luminosity is a natural part of the solar cycle. A change of 0.1% may not sound like much, but the sun deposits a lot of energy on the Earth, approximately 1,361 watts per square meter. Summed over the globe, a 0.1% variation in this quantity exceeds all of our planet's other energy sources (such as natural radioactivity in Earth's core) combined. A 2013 report issued by the National Research Council (NRC), "The Effects of Solar Variability on Earth's Climate," spells out some of the ways the cyclic change in TSI can affect the chemistry of Earth's upper atmosphere and possibly alter regional weather patterns, especially in the Pacific. NASA's current flagship satellite for measuring TSI, the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE), is now more than six years beyond its prime-mission lifetime. TSIS-1 will take over for SORCE, extending the record of TSI measurements with unprecedented precision. It's five-year mission will overlap a deep Solar Minimum expected in 2019-2020. TSIS-1 will therefore be able to observe the continued decline in the sun's luminosity followed by a rebound as the next solar cycle picks up steam. Installing and checking out TSIS-1 will take some time; the first science data are expected in Feb. 2018. [ link to spaceweather.com] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |
