I guess I can add I got a bonus at work (not really a bonus, it's more of a loan, as I will have to pay it back next year), which you would think is a good thing, right?

Well, the problem is, with a bonus, they killed me on taxes. I mean KILLED me. I don't even want to say how much they took out, but it was over 40% altogether. FECK. So, basically the bonus will allow me to pay a few back bills, but about 80% of what I get has to just go into savings to offset the loss I'll be taking for 11 months starting in April. :(

Uncle Sam got a monstrous chunk of cash. I'm hoping I'll get some of that back at tax time, but I just don't know at this point. It's impossible to predict.
At the end of the year a bonus is just regular income, yeah they take more out of them but if your overall income is down dramatically you will get some of that back at the end of the year.

Cornfuscious say, Better to be pissed off, than pissed on.

LBJ appointed some guy in Washington to be on a committee and his advisors said Mr. President you hate that guy's guts, why did you put him on that committee.
And LBJ replied because it's better to have that fella inside the tent pissing out, than to have him outside the tent pissing in.
I believe LBJ was an SOB but everybody is correct once in a while.

I'm pissed because after going to the doctor this morning for my normal check up, I decided to stop by Panera for a 4 cheese soufflé and, once again, they were out. I should have learned my lesson the last 3 freaking times that I tried getting one there, but nope, I keep shooting my dumb a8s in the foot and going back all full of hope that I'll get some of that cheesy/eggy goodness. Sometimes I astound myself at how stupid I can be. Oh, and that realization pisses me off as well.

Sounds like me and Cracker Barrel with their meatloaf. I tasted it once in the 20 times I've been there.
